Title : Load Grouping Extension for Signalling User Adaptation
Layers
Author(s) : B. Bidulock
Filename : draft-bidulock-sigtran-loadgrp-01.txt,.pdf
Pages : 12
Date : 2003-1-10
This Internet-Draft describes an extension parameter and procedure
to the Signalling User Adaptation Protocols [IUA...TUA], based on the
Stream Transmission Control Protocol (SCTP) [RFC 2960] which permits
an Application Server Processes (ASP) to indicate its placement within
a Load Group and permits an Signalling Gateway (SG) to distribute
traffic over Load Groups under Application Server Process (ASP)
control.
The described procedure provides for Override, Load-share and
Broadcast traffic mode operation within a Load Group consisting of one
or more Application Server Processes (ASPs) resulting in a mixture of
traffic modes within an Application Server (AS). The parameters and
procedures described here supplement the UA Load Selection [LOADSEL]
extension parameters and procedures for improved distribution of
traffic over ASPs and Signalling Gateway Processes (SGPs).

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
