Overlay routing technologies (a.k.a. peer-to-peer technologies) have
been introduced to various distributed systems, such as content
delivery networks and live media streaming systems. However, these
systems cannot always utilize optimal network resources from the
viewpoint of layer 3 network providers and operators of layer 3
network providers have difficulties in controlling and optimizing the
traffic of these systems because these systems construct their own
networks (i.e., overlay networks) over the layer 3 network without
taking into account layer 3 network's routing policies. The ALTO
Working Group has worked on application-layer traffic optimization to
fill the gaps in routing policies between the layer 3 network and
overlay networks by providing the underlay network topology and cost
information to applications that build overlay networks. However,
since ASes are operated under different policies and cost metrics for
application-layer traffic optimization are assumed to be autonomously
configured by each AS, there are considerations in applying
application-layer traffic optimization techniques to cross-domain
(inter-AS) traffic. This document summarizes general problems with
cross-domain traffic of overlay networks and considerations on the
AS-level application-layer traffic optimization from the viewpoint of
inter-AS economics. This document also discusses the conceivable
approaches to solve the problems and considerations.
