Abstract

Overload Management in the IMS core of NGNs is a critical task for service providers (SP) in order to achieve a high level of reliability for their communication services. This paper shows a practical approach to protect an existing IMS compliant network from overload by using traffic shapers. An important advantage for SPs is that this solution does not require significant changes in existent Network Elements (NE) functions.
