Configuring the Message Priority

Use the following configuration to configure message priority for the inbound request messages.

configure 
  overload-control threshold threshold_limit threshold_range action reject reject-code range exclude message-priority priority_value 
  end 

NOTES:

  • overload-control – Specify the overload control at endpoint level.

  • threshold – Specify the threshold limit and range.

  • threshold_limit – Specify the threshold limit. threshold_limit must be one of the following:

    • low – Specify the low threshold limit for overload protection.

    • high – Specify the high threshold limit for overload protection.

    • critical– Specify the critical threshold limit for overload protection.

  • thershold_range – Specify the threshold range. thershold_range must be an integer in the range of 10–100000.

  • action – Specify the action to be taken for the threshold limit.

  • action_status – Specify the action for the threshold limit.action_status must be:

    • reject – Rejects the inbound messages if the specified threshold range is met.

  • exclude message-priority – Excludes the messages from the overload protection mechanism depending on the assigned priority.

  • priority_value – Specifies the priority value.

The following is an example configuration:

overload-control threshold low 1000 action reject reject-code 100 exclude message-priority 8 
overload-control threshold high 2000 action reject reject-code 100 exclude message-priority 5 

If the priority value is 8, then the messages received with priority 8 or higher are not throttled. This applies even when the system threshold is lower than the priority value. The 3GPP defined message priority is 0–31 as per 3GPP TS 29.500, section 6.8.4.
