The IESG has received a request from the SIP Overload Control WG (soc) to consider the following document: - 'A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Load Control Event Package' <draft-ietf-soc-load-control-event-package-10.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2013-11-19. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract We define a load control event package for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). It allows SIP entities to distribute load filtering policies to other SIP entities in the network. The load filtering policies contain rules to throttle calls based on their source or destination domain, telephone number prefix or for a specific user. The mechanism helps to prevent signaling overload and complements feedback-based SIP overload control efforts. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-soc-load-control-event-package/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-soc-load-control-event-package/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
