Dhruv: For the passive stateful case via PCReq message, that would make
sense!
For the delegated case, see below -

Dhruv: The overloaded PCE will retain the delegation until it is explicitly
revoked.
For the PCC-initiated LSP, PCC is free to revoke delegation as per RFC 8231
as a local decision. For instance, PCC could do that if the PCE remains in
an overloaded state for a long time.
For the PCE-initiated LSP, PCC cannot revoke delegation as per RFC 8281,
here the overloaded PCE needs to return the delegation to the PCC as a
local decision. For instance, PCE could do that if it remains in an
overloaded state for a long time.

Dhruv: PCC ought to queue in the state reports via PCRpt message to the
PCE, even if it is overloaded.

The RFC 8231 and RFC 8281 do not talk about overload much, perhaps some
text can be added to the stateful PCE clarification I-D?

Thanks!
Dhruv (as a WG participant)
