Overload protection, especially for call processing platforms, involves determining processor load, input value queue length, queue length change, overload level, rejecting percentage of incoming information depending on overload level

摘要

The method involves determining a processor load (y), determine the length of the input value queue (F), determining a change in the queue length, determining a current overload level (OPL), detecting a high overload level if the queue length exceeds a threshold value, manipulating the overload level depending on the queue length and processor loading and rejecting a percentage of the incoming information depending on the overload level.. An independent claim is also included for the following: (a) a communications system with at least one processing platform.
