Colleagues, Section 10.3 of draft-ietf-alto-protocol-08 states:
The protocol specified in this document provides a mode of operation where the source network location is computed by the ALTO Server (via the Endpoint Property Lookup interface) from the source IP address found in the ALTO Client query packets. This is similar to how some P2P Trackers (e.g., BitTorrent Trackers - see "Tracker HTTP/HTTPS Protocol" in [BitTorrent]) operate. However, although section 7.7.5.1.3 (for the Endpoint Cost service) allows the source address to be inferred from the client's IP address, section 7.7.4.1.3 (for the Endpoint Property Lookup service) doesn't allow the source address to be optional or inferred from the client's IP address. Is this an oversight in the description of the Endpoint Property Lookup service or should the example in section 10.3 point to the Endpoint Property Cost service?
