(sorry for the cross-post, wanted to send to all the appropriate working groups)
I am sending this email to call for participation to the symposium after IETF Beijing meeting. It is used to promote the design discussion and sharing industrial and academic information about DECADE and ALTO. It will not be an official IETF meeting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The International Industrial and Academic Symposium on DECADE and ALTO The International Industrial and Academic Symposium on DECADE (DECoupled Application Data Enroute) and ALTO (Application Layer Traffic Optimization) will present industrial and academic trends and solutions on DECADE and ALTO, both of which intend to improve the network efficiency. The upstream network links of home users are often relatively small; and bandwidth-greedy applications such as file sharing and real-time streaming can quickly saturate the links when uploading content. To address that problem, DECADE's advocates propose a mechanism whereby users can store content they are sharing in the network-ahead of the last-mile bottleneck. The specific objective of DECADE is to specify a protocol for fine-grained control of such network storage. The protocol is intended to be integrated in P2P applications, thereby enabling them to store, retrieve, and manage data remotely as well as to define policies for sharing such data with other peers and to control the utilization of resources like bandwidth and number of connections. Although DECADE originated from P2P requirements, it can also be used for other types of content distribution. P2P applications establish overlays on top of the Internet infrastructure with little or no knowledge of the underlying network topology. That lack of information leads peers to make suboptimal choices. For example, it is common for a peer who needs to obtain information from another peer to choose randomly, possibly picking one located on the other side of the planet. Such random selection may ignore many peers who are topologically closer and that therefore likely would provide better performance. ALTO solutions intend to enable network operators, Internet service providers, and others with network topology information to share it with P2P applications, thereby enabling those applications to improve the peer selection process. Sharing this information is expected to benefit both end users and network operators, resulting in better application performance and more rational use of network resources. Recently, a trend has emerged to combine DECADE and ALTO technologies for content distribution. Among other topics, this symposium will explore how these technologies can be combined to improve network efficiency. All of you are welcome to this meeting! Everyone is encouraged to request a slot for your presentation. We also plan to invite industrial and academic experts on related areas to give presentations. The topics include but are not limited to: (1) ISPs' considerations/recent actions; (2) Vendors' considerations/recent actions; (3) Applications' needs; (4) Business models; (5) General solution; (6) Key technical aspects The presentation requests and presentation slides should be sent to the organizers of this meeting before corresponding cut-off dates. If you are interested in attending, please send an email to the organizers as soon as possible so they may plan meeting space and lunch accordingly.
