Re: [Dime] Definition of host report

[Steve Donovan <[e-mail]>]

Lionel,

I'm not proposing adding an AVP to the overload report.  I should have
said the Diameter ID in the overload control state.  I agree completely
that the Diameter ID comes from the Origin-Host AVP in the answer
message containing the OLR.

Regards,

Steve

Such binding is required and the Diameter Id in the OLR will not provide added-value compared to the origin-host of the answer.

The server is telling clients to reduce the traffic sent to it by x%.  The client selects a route for the request.  Any request that would be routed to the connection to the server should be a candidate for overload treatment.  If this is not the case then how do you protect a server for an application that has 100% realm routed requests?

In this case the reacting node should include all messages that would be sent to the reporting node, including those that do not contain a Destination-Host AVP and those that the reacting node would sent to the reporting node through normal route selection for requests that do not contain a Destination-Host AVP.

This is the value of the Origin-Host AVP in the message that carried the OLR.  There are two cases where the reacting node will know that the request will be routed to the overloaded node.  The first is the request contains a Destination-Host AVP that matches the Diameter ID contained in the OLR.  The second is when the reacting node selects a route that is a direct connection to the overloaded Diameter node."
