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?

Thanks
Ben
