The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Comcast's ISP Experiences In a P4P Technical Trial ' <draft-livingood-woundy-p4p-experiences-10.txt> as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Lisa Dusseault. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-livingood-woundy-p4p-experiences-10.txt Technical Summary This document discusses what has been learned about ALTO-style traffic optimization in trials run by ComCast and Pando. The discussion is informative and should inform discussions about what realistic outcomes can be expected with use of similar technology. Working Group Summary This is an individual submission. Document Quality The document has had sufficient review. Personnel Lisa Dusseault is the responsible area director. RFC Editor Note Please put the following content in the Security Considerations: This document does not propose any kind of protocol, practice or standard. The experiment did show that an ISP can improve performance without exposing fine-grained details about network structure, which might otherwise be a security concern (see Section 3.1 (P4P Fine Grain) and Section 3.2 (P4P Coarse Grain)). Section 6 (Next Steps) mentions that the opt-in architecture allows P2P users to maintain privacy. Other security aspects were not considered in the experiment, which focused on performance measurements. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
