Colleagues, I have just uploaded a draft that discusses several options on how incremental updates of ALTO Network and/or Cost Maps can be provided. In particular we discuss how an ALTO client and an ALTO server can synchronize their map state without transmitting the whole map as well as how partial updates can be encoded and sent to the client.
Please find the -00 version of the draft here: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-schwan-alto-incr-updates-00.tx t Any feedback is welcome!

Title : ALTO Incremental Updates Author(s) : Nico Schwan Bill Roome Filename : draft-schwan-alto-incr-updates-00.txt Pages : 18 Date : 2011-12-01 The goal of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to bridge the gap between network and applications by provisioning network related information. This allows applications to make informed decisions, for example when selecting a target host from a set of candidates. Therefore an ALTO server provides network and cost maps to its clients. This draft discusses options on how to provide incremental updates for these maps, with the goal of reducing the amount of data needed for transmitting the maps.
