A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the SIP Overload Control Working Group of the IETF. Title : Design Considerations for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Overload Control Author(s) : Volker Hilt Eric Noel Charles Shen Ahmed Abdelal Filename : draft-ietf-soc-overload-design-08.txt Pages : 25 Date : 2011-07-11 Overload occurs in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) networks when SIP servers have insufficient resources to handle all SIP messages they receive. Even though the SIP protocol provides a limited overload control mechanism through its 503 (Service Unavailable) response code, SIP servers are still vulnerable to overload. This document discusses models and design considerations for a SIP overload control mechanism.
