Hi All, We have posted a new version of the ALTO Protocol draft: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-alto-protocol-02
The draft features heavily-reworked protocol sections (Section 6 and 7). There are also many additions to the Security Considerations section (Section 11) thanks to Jan Seedorf. There are a number of items about the draft that we've picked out as needing feedback and revisions and added these to the issue tracker: http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/alto/trac/report/1 Of course, please bring up other items as you see them or think about them. It would be great to get a good round of discussion and feedback on any major issues before Monday, so that we can make appropriate changes prior to March 8th and submit another revision. Thanks! -- Richard Alimi Department of Computer Science Yale University On Thursday 04 March 2010 2:45:01 pm [email protected] wrote: > A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts > directories.
