<p>A method of controlling overload in a telecommunications network (e.g. a Next Generation Network) is described. A series of offers are sent from one or more source nodes to a throttle. An admission decision is carried out at the throttle for each offer, the outcome of the admission decision determining whether or not that offer should be admitted into the network. For each offer, if the admission decision is to admit the offer, it is sent from the throttle towards a target node in the network. Each offer belongs to a traffic class selected from a set of traffic classes. The throttle identifies the traffic class of each offer and the admission decision for each offer takes into account the traffic class of that offer according to a Service Level Agreement.</p> |
