Hi Martin, 

you raised a couple of questions on the list and you seem to have an opinion about the outcome of the work.
Let me ask you a couple of questions: 

* Do you expect Diameter clients to be updated to process overload information to relay the error messages to the end points? 

* Do you expect overload situations in Diameter agents (like proxies) or only with Diameter servers? 

* Do you expect  Diameter server load information used for load balancing (not overload information) to stay within the AT&T network?

* Can you explain the load balancing scenario you expect to deploy? Do you have Diameter relays between the load balancer and the Diameter servers? 

* What information about your internal Diameter infrastructure do you expect to be visible to the outside world (to other Diameter nodes)?

Ciao
Hannes
