DIAMETER_TOO_BUSY error answer
Only for servers, intermediaries may need to signal overload as well
A reactive mechanism, needs to receive a request to send the answer
Can’t inform about abatement of overload
Can’t support multiple levels (important to prevent cascaded collapse, loadbalancing, efficient resource utilization)

Propagation of congestion takes time
Each peer will observe only its own receiver window and won’t know whether a node is in overload because of messages sent by another peer
