2.6.15.10.4 Loss Abatement Algorithm

The supported DOIC abatement algorithm is the “Loss” abatement algorithm. It specifies a percentage of traffic that is abated for a given TTP. The Loss algorithm is stateless. It specifies a percentage of traffic that is abated of the traffic that would have been sent without the abatement, not a percentage of the previous traffic that caused the abatement request. Thus the reacting node does not guarantee that there is an absolute reduction in traffic sent, since the offered traffic may have increased since the Overload Report was sent. Rather, it guarantees that the requested percentage of new requests are given abatement treatment.
