At a first quick look, it defines another set of metrics ( http://data.fcc.gov/download/measuring-broadband-america/2013/Technical-Appendix-feb-2013.pdfPage 26, which the te-metrics doc may need to look into as well). It looks like that the draft is still evolving. I can see several possibilities in defining network maps: one is the geo-location already well defined in the draft; Table 5 of the Technical-Appendix-feb-2013.pdf suggests that many maps can be constructed. This is interesting and also shows that we will need to think more on how to handle a wealth of such information. Good work! > But what I'm most interested in a way to make maps writable.

But since you mentioned map, I guess you are saying e2e (e.g., more narrowly bounded app flow). In addition to flow meta data, Lingli pointed out OneAPI in the context of mobile devices as another related work: http://www.gsma.com/oneapi/faq/restful-api-specifications Richard > > From: Greg Bernstein <[email protected]> > Date: Monday, October 28, 2013 10:48 AM > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Subject: [alto] extension questions and comments > > Hi ALTO extension folks, as I'll not be making it up to Vancouver :-( , > here are some questions/comments. > These comments/questions are from the perspective of creating an ALTO > topology service (suitable for large bandwidth and SDN applications). > http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-scharf-alto-vpn-service-01 ALTO for > VPNs: Way back when we started talking about "topology" like extensions. > The concept of ALTO for "controlled or partially controlled" environments > was floated.
