Abstract:
The Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) protocol [RFC7285]
has defined several resources and services to provide clients with
basic network information. However, the base ALTO protocol and
latest extensions only provide end-to-end metrics, which are
insufficient to satisfy the demands of solving more complex network
optimization problems. This document introduces an extension to the
base ALTO protocol, namely the path-vector extension, which allows
ALTO clients to query information such as capacity regions for a
given set of flows. A non-normative example called multi-flow
scheduling is presented to illustrate the limitations of existing
ALTO (endpoint) cost maps. After that, details of the extension are
defined.
