Original:

when the DOTS server concludes that some of the attack sources belong
to 2001:db8:1234::/48, it sends a notification message with 'status'
code set to '1 (Attack mitigation is in progress)' and 'conflict-
cause' set to '2' (conflict-with-acceptlist) to the DOTS client to
indicate that this mitigation request is in progress, but a conflict
is detected.

As the attack mitigation evolves, the DOTS client may decide to
deactivate the rate-limit policy (e.g., upon receipt of notification
status change from 'attack-exceeded-capability' to 'attack-
