Abstract:
The ALTO Protocol (RFC 7285) leverages HTTP/1.1 and is designed for
the simple, sequential request-reply use case, in which an ALTO
client requests a sequence of information resources, and the server
responds with the complete content of each resource one at a time.
ALTO incremental updates using Server-Sent Events (SSE) (RFC 8895)
defines a multiplexing protocol on top of HTTP/1.x, so that an ALTO
server can incrementally push resource updates to clients whenever
monitored network information resources change, allowing the clients
to monitor multiple resources at the same time. However, HTTP/2 and
later versions already support concurrent, non-blocking transport of
multiple streams in the same HTTP connection.
To take advantage of newer HTTP features, this document introduces
the ALTO Transport Information Publication Service (TIPS). TIPS uses
an incremental RESTful design to give an ALTO client the new
capability to explicitly, concurrently (non-blocking) request (pull)
specific incremental updates using native HTTP/2 or HTTP/3, while
still functioning for HTTP/1.1.
