P2PSIP list members,
I don't know how many of you are also subscribed to the P2PI mailing
list that was for the P2P Infrastructure workshop recently held near
Boston, but there's been a great deal of discussion leading to the
creation of the Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) BOF
being scheduled for Dublin. If you aren't aware of the discussions,
here's the recent round of documents:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-kiesel-alto-reqs-00.txt
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hilt-alto-survey-00.txt
(survey of research in the area)
Here's the abstract of the problem statement:
A significant part of the Internet traffic today is generated by
peer-to-peer applications used for file sharing, realtime
communications and live media streaming. Such applications often
deal with large amounts of data in direct peer-to-peer connections,
but they usually have little knowledge of the underlying topology,
both at the overlay layer and the network layer. As a result, they
may choose their peers based on measurements and statistics which,
in
some specific situations, often lead to suboptimal choices. This
document describes problems related to optimizing traffic generated
by peer-to-peer applications through the use of link and network
layer information.

Dan
