(*Exception:* If you send a transaction to your own server over an [admin connection](rippled-apis.html#connecting-to-rippled), it relays the transaction even under high load, so long as the fee meets the global base.) Even if some servers have too much load to propagate a transaction, the transaction can still make it into a validated ledger as long as a large enough percentage of validating servers receive it, so the global base fee is generally enough to submit a transaction. If many servers in the network are under high load all at once (for example, due to a DDoS or a global event of some sort) then you must either set the `Fee` value higher or wait for the load to decrease.
