I would say no. ALTO was optional from the beginning since the idea is that clients can always fall back to original behavior in case of disruption. Interesting question what would happen if you control the tracker (as in your example) but peers can exchange info that ultimately is based on the original selection done at the tracker. You will loose some localization but without DHT there is no other place to get peers from, therefore inter-AS traffic might still be curbed. > > Xie Xie, > Haibin > > > > _______________________________________________ > alto mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/alto _______________________________________________ alto mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/alto
