[Dime] DOIC: Multiple instance of OC-OLR AVP (of the same type) within a response message

["Nirav Salot (nsalot)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

As I understand IETF will define the base overload control solution as part of DOIC. Then 3GPP would adopt the defined solution for each of its application.
When that happens, 3GPP might want to add 3GPP specific AVP within OC-OLR AVP. Based on the current definition of the OC-OLR AVP this should be allowed since it contains "* [AVP]" in its definition.
e.g. for a given application 3GPP decides to add information into OC-OLR which changes the scope of the OC-OLR from application level to the provided information level.
Additionally, the reporting may want to advertise the OC-OLR at the application level scope - i.e. the OC-OLR without any 3GPP specific info.

So if the above is allowed, we will have the possibility of the reporting node wanting to include two instances of OC-OLR with the Report-Type="host".
And then we need to define the handling of multiple instances of OC-OLR in the DOIC draft.

So the questions are,

-          Is 3GPP (or any other SDO) allowed to extend the definition of OC-OLR by adding information into it?

-          If no, can we guarantee that application level scope of OC-OLR (which is what we have defined currently) is sufficient (and not restricting) to all the applications of 3GPP?
