Charles,

While this problem certainly falls into the general category of sip 
overload control, ISTM that it has a substantially different 
constituency than has been involved in the other overload control work. 
(Much of the impact is on individual UAs, which have not been of 
significant concern in the other work.) So I do think it would be good 
to take initial discussion into a forum that will get the attention of 
affected parties.

Something that proposes to change the behavior of UAs when they register 
will almost certainly have to be dealt with in sipcore eventually. But 
while initially scoping the problem, dispatch seems the appropriate 
place to me.

	Thanks,
	Paul
