Hi, Marco and I have created a document that details the issues about third-party ALTO server discovery, which were raised in Stockholm. Comments welcome. Thanks, Marco and Sebastian ----- Forwarded message from Internet-Drafts at ietf.org ----- From: Internet-Drafts at ietf.org To: i-d-announce at ietf.org Subject: I-D Action:draft-kiesel-alto-3pdisc-00.txt Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:00:01 -0700 (PDT) Reply-To: internet-drafts at ietf.org List-Id: Internet Draft Announcements only <i-d-announce.ietf.org> A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Third-party ALTO server discovery Author(s) : S. Kiesel, M. Tomsu Filename : draft-kiesel-alto-3pdisc-00.txt Pages : 15 Date : 2009-08-26 The goal of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to provide guidance to applications, which have to select one or several hosts from a set of candidates, that are able to provide a desired resource. This document describes why a third-party ALTO server discovery mechanism is required for an important class of applications, namely tracker-based P2P applications. Several solution approaches are classified and evaluated. The conclusion is that further work is required to standardize a protocol and procedures that follow one specific approach.
