Attached are the raw notes we've received from on of the two note takers
(thanks Jan!). As soon as we receive notes from the other note taker,
we'll produce a digested version and will upload it on the proceedings page.

IETF-75 ALTO Session
Notes by Jan Seedorf
--------------------
--------------------

Jon Peterson presents the note well and agenda
----------------------------------------------
-- there are two related bar bofs this ietf: DECADE on Wednesday and PPSP on 
Thursday, problem statement doc is in last call, requirements draft was agreed 
to stay alive for a while, protocol proposals and survey proposals have merged 
since ietf-74

Sebastian Kiesel presents the alto-requirements draft
-----------------------------------------------------
-- draft has been adopted as WG item at ietf-74
-- there are three new terms replacing the "host location attribute" (see 
slides for details), several requirements can be expressed better with the new 
terms (examples on the slides), no comments on the new "host group descriptor 
requirements" Sebastian presented
-- there are different options regarding alto server discovery requirements 
(ALTO client finding "right" ALTO server, or ALTO client finding a near ALTO 
server and then redirection), Hannes: what do operators think on this issue, 
Hannes: Finding the access provider based on the IP address of the end host is 
complicated and error prone, Song Haibin: redirection might be good for load 
balancing but prefers first option, Rich Woundy: undecided, maybe a combination 
is best way to go, Rony Evan: why does there have to be a requirement either 
way?, Albert Tian: also thinks not necessary to have such requirements, second 
option seems more doable, ??: what means "right" ALTO server is not clear, 
David ?: some parts of the requirements doc are confusing, including this 
issue, Hannes: Nobody is going to read that document anyway after it is 
finished, Rich Alimi: worried about the trust issue in the second option when 
there is redirection between ALTO servers, Lars: probably the discovery 
requirement should be more general and not so detailed,
-- there are new security requirements regarding authentication of servers and 
clients, Lars: authentication between client and servers is probably not so 
important but data authentication (authenticating the information exchanged) is 
important, Ruediger: what kind of NAT is meant with the NAT traversal 
requirement?, 
-- general comments/discussion; David ?: are the new terms target of the 
query?, John ?: have you considered and anonymity server for privacy purposes?, 
further discussion referred to the mailing list

Reinaldo Penno presents the merged alto protocol draft
-----------------------------------------------------
-- the current draft is a merger of plenty initial protocol proposals (P4P, 
infoexport, ATTP, proxidor, ...), Reinaldo presents the contributions of the 
individual drafts which have now been merged together, Martin: what happened to 
the proxidor approach of sorting ip addresses in the server, abandoned? How did 
the merger happen exactly? answer: none,
-- Reinaldo explains the "my internet view" concept and other key concepts of 
the draft, there may be multiple costs between a pair of network locations, 
Lars: is the "my internet view" service specific? do several clients have to 
ask twice? answer: peers within the same group should have the same "my 
internet view", Lars: can you query information only related to yourself or 
also query information between two other peers?, answer: both possible, ??: 
costs are a critical issue, should the WG make certain cost types a 
requirement?, Wolfgang: does A really need to know the cost between B and C, 
and would any service provider actually reveal such information? answer: there 
are different types of cost, not only monetary costs
-- Rich Alimi presents some details of this protocol proposal: Rich presents 
use-cases, ALTO query types, Lars: we should think what information exchange 
actually makes sense, not everything is necessarily to be done via an 
ALTO-service; Rich explains network map, ??: returning a range of values is 
good for privacy, maybe this should enter the requirements in the future; Rich 
explains path rating and protocol message encoding (proposed is http + REST-ful 
API + XML encoding in bodies), Volker: there is lots of felxibility in the 
protocol, this means that clients and servers need to implement many options 
and maybe this should be implified, answer: this should be discussed; Rich 
presents use-cases in detail (see his slides); Rich aks WG if this should be 
adopted as WG item?
-- discussion: Stefano: supports adoption as WG; Lisa: this is probably the 
best REST-ful design she has seen in the ietf; Bertrand Mathieu: does not think 
it is a good merged document, has concerns that the information retrieved from 
ALTO is quite extensive; Jan Seedorf: has concerns with the workload for ALTO 
servers caused by queries with multiple source network locations, risk of easy 
DoS attacks, answer: the resulting answer matrices can be pre-computed and 
should not change that frequently
-- no hum on WG adoption, further discussion referred to the mailing list

Zoran Despotovic presents Feedback-based Client Prototol
--------------------------------------------------------
-- see slides for details
-- no questions nor comments regarding this proposal

Marco Tomsu presents the merged ALTO discovery protocol
-------------------------------------------------------
-- the current draft is mainly a merger without much new technical content, 
next steps are adopting the draft as a WG document
-- discussion: David ?: what is really the information needed? what does really 
need to be standardized? ??: are different versions considered for DHCP and in 
general? answer: yes;
-- no hum on adopting this draft as WG document

Zoran Despotovic presents BGP-based ALTO Service
------------------------------------------------
-- BGP can be the source for locaility information used by an ALTO-server, 
Zoran presents the relevant BGP attributes which could be used, 
-- discussion: David ?: thinks this is an interesting direction; Stefano: 
understand usefulness of BGP but finds the approach dangerous because it uses 
different semantics, may have impact on actual BGP use
