Title : Essential Correction to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) 503 (Service Unavailable) Response
Author(s) : V. Hilt

Overload occurs in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) when SIP
servers have insufficient resources to process all SIP messages they
receive. The SIP protocol specified in RFC 3261 provides the 503
(Service Unavailable) response code as a remedy for servers under
overload. However, the current definition of 503 (Service
Unavailable) has problems and can in fact amplify an overload
condition. This document proposes an essential correction to RFC
3261 that avoids these problems and helps SIP servers to better cope
with overload.

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
