A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8189 Title: Multi-Cost Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Author: S. Randriamasy, W. Roome, N. Schwan Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: October 2017 Mailbox: sabine.randriamasy@nokia-bell-labs.com, ietf@wdroome.com, nico.schwan@thalesgroup.com Pages: 29 Characters: 57010 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-alto-multi-cost-10.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8189 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8189 The Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) protocol, specified in RFC 7285, defines several services that return various metrics describing the costs between network endpoints. This document defines a new service that allows an ALTO Client to retrieve several cost metrics in a single request for an ALTO filtered cost map and endpoint cost map. In addition, it extends the constraints to further filter those maps by allowing an ALTO Client to specify a logical combination of tests on several cost metrics. This document is a product of the Application-Layer Traffic Optimization Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
