[sip-overload] draft-ietf-soc-overload-control-05 released

["Vijay K. Gurbani" <[e-mail]>]

Folks: I have released a new version of the SIP overload control
draft, version -05.  (BTW, version -04 did not contain one crucial
consensus item that was hashed on the list, so -05 was released
shortly after -04 to account for this).

This version is a result of discussions since the Quebec City IETF.

More specifically, the following changes have occurred between -05
and -03:

- Editorial and typo nits.
- An expanded Section 5 to encode general behavior.
- Addition of S5.1 (Handshake to determine support for overload
   control).
- There was some confusion in Section 4.2 where -03 was ambiguous
   on whether or not a client should include "oc-algo" parameter.
   This has been ironed out in the first paragraph of S4.2.
- The client orders the overload control algorithms in the "oc-algo"
   parameter by decreasing order of preference, however, the server
   is not bound to pick the most preferred algorithm if it does not
   want to (new text in Section 4.2) [1].
- Clients continue to include all overload control algorithms in
   the "oc-algo" parameter even after the client and server have
   converged to mutually agreeable class (next text in Section 4.2) [2].
- Pushed the burden on re-negotiation to server instead of client
   (diffs in Section 5.8) [2].
- Specified a default (and reference) algorithm for loss-based
   overload control (Section 6.3).

-05 is available in [3], and a diff against -03 is available in
[4].

Please let me know if there are any further issues with the draft.
