Hi ALTOers, I am sending this e-mail on behalf of the group, who during the last ALTO WG sync up meeting (June 6th 23), further discussed the different options listed by our chairs for the potential future directions of the ALTO WG. The possible directions are listed here (1) and the discussion thread "[alto] Discussion on the future of ALTO WG" initiated by Med can be found here (2) ---- (1) https://github.com/ietf-wg-alto/wg-materials/blob/main/FutureALTO/alto-direction-of-work.md ---- (2) https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/alto/YixgT0_QF6f5l8mlj21lGnaODDg/
The discussion in the last sync up meeting focused on Proposal #3: Support ALTO Extensions for the New Industry Needs. We agreed to start discussion threads on the topics relating to Proposal #3 and listed below, on which you are invited to provide your expression of interest and insights and plans to engage on these topics once the threads will be started. The feedback of our chairs and area director will also provide a valuable guidance. - A. Integration of new data sources and their exposure: this could include information such as compute and energy. A list of potential data sources of interest was started in (A1), and integration of compute is approached in (A2) ---- (A1) : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P4GrhQz_t17jIWg-3b1ycldhBWEEgIAAUZe2vjeO_1U/edit#gid=0. ---- (A2): https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-contreras-alto-service-edge/ - B. Maintenance of ALTO protocol: in particular adressing operational security matters plus other aspects that could be identified. - C. Trusted related ALTO properties (trust of ALTO topology elements and trust of ALTO information) Some initial views and contributions have been exposed during the ALTO interim meeting #5, see (BC3) ---- (BC3) https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/interim-2023-alto-05/session/alto - D. New architectural extensions : such as multi-domain ALTO exposure, ALTO as NEF input to CATS components. Problem statement and gap analysis to define future work once A, B and C have been completed. ---- (D5) https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-yang-alto-multi-domain/ ---- (D4) https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/pdf/draft-contreras-alto-ietf-nef-01 If you feel there is a missing topic you consider highly appropriate for the ALTO WG to investigate, please feel free to voice up.
