Hi All, Thank you all for the feedback and thorough reading of the draft during the past few weeks. This update should address the comments from the mailing list since -08 was posted on May 20. If it does not, I'm sure you will let us know :)
The diffs provide a fairly succinct summary of the changes: http://tools.ietf.org/tools/rfcdiff/rfcdiff.pyht?url1=http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-alto-protocol-08.txt&url2=http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-alto-protocol-09.txt Note that the draft intentionally does not include the additional suggested protocol changes/extensions (e.g., multiple cost types) since we would like to keep the draft churn minimal before an interop event.
