Title : Multi-Cost ALTO

Filename : draft-randriamasy-alto-multi-cost-01.txt

IETF is designing a new service called ALTO (Application Layer
traffic Optimization) that includes a "Network Map Service", an
"Endpoint Cost Service" and an "Endpoint (EP) Ranking Service" and
thus incentives for application clients to connect to ISP preferred
Endpoints. These services provide a view of the Network Provider
(NP) topology to overlay clients.
The present draft proposes a light way to extend the information
provided by the current ALTO protocol. The purpose is to broaden the
possibilities of the Application Clients in two ways: firstly by
providing a better mapping of the Selected Endpoints to needs of the
growing diversity of Content Networking Applications and to the
network conditions, secondly by producing a more robust choice of
multiple Endpoints, helping thus out for efficient Multi-Path
transfer.
There are 2 parts in this draft: the first part proposes protocol
extensions to support requests on multiple CostTypes in 1
transaction; the second part proposes additional CostTypes and Cost
attributes such as valitity period, timeframe and reliability.
