Diameter Agent Overload and the Peer Overload Report
Abstract
This specification documents an extension to the Diameter Overload
Indication Conveyance (DOIC), a base solution for Diameter overload
defined in RFC 7683. The extension defines the Peer Overload report
type. The initial use case for the peer report is the handling of
occurrences of overload of a Diameter Agent.
