I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.
These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area
directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just
like any other last call comments.

This document describes the limitations of the existing Diameter overload
mechanisms and provides requirements for new overload management
mechanisms.  The document is very well written and clear.  I had just two
comments:

1) The last sentence of Requirement 13 is a bit hard to parse.

2) Requirement 31 requires indication of overload at specified
granularities (realm, application, node).  Should overload status
mechanisms have similar granularity requirements (see requirements 10 or
24)?
