Hello,

I think what you are asking is this:

If the ALTO protocol uses any type of indirect aggregation (ASNs, PID, etc) as 
opposed to plain prefixes, does the ALTO Server needs to expand them? I do no 
think this issue is specific to ASNs.

As long as you have the proper interfaces /query mechanism in place, it seems 
to me you are free to use an aggregation method that suits your deployment.  
The ALTO Protocol draft and the presentation at the last IETF provided examples 
on PIDs usage and resolution. But that could be ASNs or any other aggregation.

Thanks,

Reinaldo

Wouldn't it be better to mandate that the second line has to be expanded
to the corresponding cidr lines at the ALTO server side, to ensure that
the ALTO client does not have to deal with AS numbers?
