Type: Technical
Reported by: Hans Liu <[email-masked]>

Section: 5.4.3

Original Text
-------------
      BUSY                              1
         The peer’s internal resources are constrained, and it has
         determined that the transport connection needs to be closed.
         A receiver of a DPR with above result code SHOULD NOT attempt
         reconnection.

Corrected Text
--------------
      BUSY                              1
         The peer’s internal resources are constrained, and it has
         determined that the transport connection needs to be closed.
         A receiver of a DPR with above result code SHOULD either 
         connect to an alternate node, or attempt reconnection
         after a time period.

Notes
-----
In most implementations, the Diameter node will continue to serve its peer after the resources recover and expect reconnection. If the Diameter node won't like reconnection from peer, DO_NOT_WANT_TO_TALK_TO_YOU can be used instead of BUSY.
