Addressing some comments I received and following the same format as Sabine did, I post the paragraph below:
Extension of ALTO services to support multi-domain settings. The current ALTO framework focuses on providing network information from a single ALTO server for a single network (administrative domain), but the network devices traversed by a flow can be managed by multiple networks not in the same domain. The working group will investigate and extend the ALTO framework to (1) enumerate the issues of ALTO services involving network paths spanning multiple domains with multiple ALTO servers, and (2) introduce capabilities to query ALTO services for the settings. The working group should specify complete ALTO multi-domain services, by using existing services whenever possible. The working group should consider realistic complexities including incremental deployment, dynamicity, core security issues including access control, authorization (e.g., an ALTO server provides information for a network that the server has no authorization), and privacy protection in multi-domain settings. Additional info will be discussed in the slides to be discussed in the weekly meeting tomorrow and then during the meeting later this week. Any comments are highly welcome.
