The IESG has received a request from the Diameter Maintenance and Extensions WG (dime) to consider the following document: - 'Diameter Load Information Conveyance' <draft-ietf-dime-load-07.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 ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-02-27. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines a mechanism for conveying of Diameter load information. RFC7068 describes requirements for Overload Control in Diameter. This includes a requirement to allow Diameter nodes to send "load" information, even when the node is not overloaded. RFC7683 (Diameter Overload Information Conveyance (DOIC)) solution describes a mechanism meeting most of the requirements, but does not currently include the ability to send load information. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dime-load/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dime-load/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
