The IESG has received a request from the Application-Layer Traffic Optimization WG (alto) to consider the following document: - 'ALTO Extension: Entity Property Maps' <draft-ietf-alto-unified-props-new-18.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2021-08-26. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document extends the base Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Protocol by generalizing the concept of "endpoint properties" to entities defined by a wide set of objects, instead of only IP addresses. Further, these properties are presented as maps, similar to the network and cost maps in the base ALTO protocol. The protocol is extended in two major directions. First, from endpoints restricted to IP addresses to entities covering a wider and extensible set of objects; second, from properties on specific endpoints to entire entity property maps. These extensions introduce additional features allowing entities and property values to be specific to a given information resource. This is made possible by a generic and flexible design of entity and property types. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-alto-unified-props-new/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ alto mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/alto
