Dear all, we have updated the two ALTO server discovery drafts:
draft-ietf-alto-server-discovery-05 specifies a rather straightforward procedure that can be used if the ALTO client is embedded in or co-located with the resource consumer. The text has been significantly cleaned up and our goal is to move forward with this document as soon as possible, so PLEASE REVIEW it. draft-kist-alto-3pdisc-01 specifies a more comprehensive but also more complex and still experimental procedure both for the "normal" (i.e. resource consumer initiated) and the third party discovery. Again, the text has been significantly cleaned up. We expect that this document still needs much discussion and work, in particular with respect to operational considerations. Thanks Sebastian

Title : ALTO Server Discovery Author(s) : Sebastian Kiesel Martin Stiemerling Nico Schwan Michael Scharf Haibin Song Filename : draft-ietf-alto-server-discovery-05.txt Pages : 16 Date : 2012-10-22 Abstract: The goal of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to provide guidance to applications that have to select one or several hosts from a set of candidates capable of providing a desired resource. ALTO is realized by a client-server protocol. Before an ALTO client can ask for guidance it needs to discover one or more ALTO servers that can provide suitable guidance. This document specifies a procedure for resource consumer initiated ALTO server discovery, which can be used if the ALTO client is embedded in the resource consumer.

Title : Third-Party ALTO Server Discovery (3pdisc) Author(s) : Sebastian Kiesel Martin Stiemerling Filename : draft-kist-alto-3pdisc-01.txt Pages : 15 Date : 2012-10-22 Abstract: The goal of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to provide guidance to applications that have to select one or several hosts from a set of candidates capable of providing a desired resource. ALTO is realized by a client-server protocol. Before an ALTO client can ask for guidance it needs to discover one or more ALTO servers that can provide suitable guidance. This document specifies a procedure for third-party ALTO server discovery, which can be used if the ALTO client is not co-located with the actual resource consumer, but instead embedded in a third party such as a peer-to-peer tracker.
