Abstract:
Overload occurs in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) networks when SIP servers
have insufficient resources to handle all SIP messages they receive. Even though the SIP
protocol provides a limited overload control mechanism through its 503 (Service Unavailable) response code,
SIP servers are still vulnerable to overload. This document discusses models and design considerations
for a SIP overload control mechanism. This document is not an Internet Standards
Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
