When traffic peaks, the messaging load generated may overflow the available message buffers for call processing.

In addition, a sophisticated flow control system in the XPM already exists for manipulating call processing messages according to call priorities.

If this occurs, the IPE sends an exception report to inform the central controller (CC) through the XPM about the number of messages that have been lost between the XPM and the IPE and between the IPE and the P-side of the IPE at a predefined time interval (5 minutes).
