Yes, there's been some discussion about how to deal with the fact that different applications may have different requirements for peer selection -- e.g. file-sharing would benefit most from connections to peers with higher uplink bandwidth, while realtime communications applications would probably want to chose media relays with the smallest delay. I remember someone suggested that a way to address it could be to simply provide a means for the querying peer to specify what parameters it would like to have optimized (delay, bandwidth...) and let the ALTO server use such information in its processing. However, AFAIK, no solution proposals at this time do anything like that. -- Ciao, Enrico
