A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : ALTO Subscription Author(s) : Sreekanth Madhavan Nandiraju Ravishankar Filename : draft-madhavan-alto-subscription-00.txt Pages : 15 Date : 2012-08-01 Abstract: The specification of the ALTO protocol uses map based approaches assuming that the information provided is static for a longer period of time. But in some cases network operators reallocate IP subnets from time to time which in turn changes the mapping partitions[I- D.ietf-alto-deployments]. Since the ALTO clients are unaware of the map information changes, clients need to query the servers for every service request and many such requests are redundant because the information was not changed. The purpose of this memo is to propose a mechanism where ALTO clients can subscribe for event notifications from the server The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-madhavan-alto-subscription There's also a htmlized version available at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-madhavan-alto-subscription-00 Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP at: ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/ _______________________________________________ I-D-Announce mailing list I-D-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/i-d-announce Internet-Draft directories: http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt
