There are SIP messages on server A, which are intended >>to go to server B, but server B is in overload, and is asking >>server A to reduce the number of messages it is sending to server B. [the following is assuming 4412 is configured on server A] ok, so server A should prioritize the SIP requests according to the namespace.priority-value that server A lists as highest priority and send those requests first - or without delaying, as will happen to the less prioritized or non-prioritized SIP requests. That's what 4412 says to do. If it becomes the case that the overload condition exists such that Server B can only receive RPH marked SIP requests, then that's how it is to be configured (where Server A processes requests according to RPH). >>I do not think it is practical (from a timing perspective) for an >>MLPP-marked RFC 4412 is written far wider than just for MLPP and ets - for those of you that aren't picking that up. >>SIP message on server A (in the queue for server B) on server A to >>a) figure out if the message being processed on server B is preemtable >>and >>b) send a message to server B to preemept processing of that message >>before server B finishes processing THAT (preemptable) message. how does this work in non-MLPP (and non-ets) environments? >>Furthermore, I don't think that approach helps the MLPP-marked SIP >>message on server A as much as just saying "this SIP message is >>exempt from being shed". >> >>Once the MLPP-marked SIP message has been transmitted to server B, >>it can preemept anything it is entitled to, as far as I am concerned.

If server B is an ETS enabled server, and it has not reached overload - it should receive ets marked SIP requests before any other requests, right? Why wouldn't that be the case? >> But as long as the ets-marked SIP message is sitting on server A >> (in the queue for server B), it is a lot more beneficial to say >> "this ets-marked SIP message will not be shed" than to say "lets >> move this ets-marked SIP message to the front of the queue, where >> it STILL might be shed". I don't get where you say "where it STILL might be shed" ? Why would it be shed? The most likely (i.e., practical) way of looking at ets is that not very many SIP requests will be so marked, therefore there shouldn't be very many requests sitting in server B's processing queue. >>Whether you are dealing with percent based, or rate based load >>shedding, there is no particular advantage to being "first in line" >>at an arbitrary point in time. I disagree - especially when the first in line gets processed next. >>Being "exempt from shedding" is much more valuable. you're suggesting a second layer of complexity to SOC and reducing the behavior of normal 4412 operation in the process by having an upstream server hold a SIP request for a downstream server in times of near overload where there is a message prioritization mechanism in place. Your solution would seem to ignore the prioritization mechanism altogether - so why would it be there in the first place? James >>Janet
