Re: [alto] New draft on relay usage for ALTO

["" <vanwaals at gmail.com>]

Hi Yu Meng,

About your draft I have some questions,

In the "The model of combining ALTO service with relay service" part

|

|3.1 Integrating relay service into alto service

|

Are the relays provided by the application? So the ALTO sever should know the relay lists of every application ,in your model ?

In the model ,should the ALTO server need to know the topology information of other ISPs?

|

|3.2.  Cooperation between P2P application provider and ISP
|
|   We define another model which is compatible with the current ALTO
|   architecture. The relay service is not integrated but considered as
|   the ordinary peer selection process. The peer would provide the ALTO
|   server with the relay candidate list, and the ALTO server would rank
|   the list.

|

Is there always only one relay between the endpoints?

if not ，how to guarant that the best relay in the first step is the best in all?

 

Thanks,

FanHua
