   When a large number of clients register with a SIP registrar server
   at approximately the same time, the server may become overloaded.
   Near-simultaneous floods of SIP SUBSCRIBE and PUBLISH requests may
   have similar effects.  Such request avalanches can occur, for
   example, after a power failure and recovery in a metropolitan area.
   This document describes how to avoid such overload situations.  Under
   this mechanism, a server estimates an avalanche restart backoff
   interval during its normal operation and conveys this interval to its
   clients through a new Restart-Timer header in normal response
   messages.  Once an avalanche restart actually occurs, the clients
   perform backoff based on the previously received Restart-Timer header
   value before sending out the first request attempt.  Thus, the
   mechanism spreads all the initial client requests and prevents them
   from overloading the server.
