Abstract:
Cost metric is a basic concept in Application-Layer Traffic
Optimization (ALTO), and is used in basic services including both the
cost map service and the endpoint cost service.
Different applications may use different cost metrics, but the ALTO
base protocol documents only one single cost metric, i.e., the
generic "routingcost" metric; see Sec. 14.2 of ALTO base
specification [RFC7285]. Hence, if the resource consumer of an
application prefers a resource provider that offers low-delay
delivery to the resource consumer, the base protocol does not define
the cost metric to be used.
ALTO cost metrics can be generic metrics and this document focuses on
network performance metrics, including network delay, jitter, packet
loss, hop count, and bandwidth. These metrics can be derived and
aggregated from routing protocols with different granularity and
scope, such as BGP-LS, OSPF-TE and ISIS-TE, or from end-to-end
traffic management tools. These metrics may then be exposed by an
ALTO Server to allow applications to determine "where" to connect
based on network performance criteria. Additional cost metrics may
be documented in other documents.
