--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Keshab Upadhya <[email-masked]>

Section: 6.1.7

Original Text
-------------
6.1.7.  Predictive Loop Avoidance

Corrected Text
--------------
6.1.7.  Predictive Loop Detection and termination

Notes
-----
one full cycle of loop execution happens before route record is identified and loop being realized. A scenario example where two Diameter Agents are configured to do precedence based routing to two different hss and where as if hss otherwise does loadshare using 4 different links each in such cases loop can even be reach stage 2 before being realized therefore it doesn't qualify the avoidance or prevention rather detection and termination. thanks.
