Diameter Load Information Conveyance
RFC 8583, “Diameter Load Information Conveyance”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2019 by B. Campbell, S. Donovan, JJ. Trottin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFC 7068 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. The base solution defined in RFC 7683 (Diameter Overload Information Conveyance (DOIC)) describes a mechanism meeting most of the requirements but does not currently include the ability to send load information. This document defines a mechanism for the conveying of Diameter load information.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
