Abstract
Systems and methods for providing overload protection in a communications system are provided. More particularly, an importance or priority rating of a message received at a communication server is determined. If the communications system is in an overload state, and if the importance rating of the received message is not sufficiently high, overload protection is applied. Overload protection can include denying service to a requested or in process communications system associated with the message.
