RFC 6875 Title: The P2P Network Experiment Council's Activities and Experiments with Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) in Japan Author: S. Kamei, T. Momose, T. Inoue, T. Nishitani Status: Informational Stream: IRTF Date: February 2013 Mailbox: skame@nttv6.jp, tmomose@cisco.com, inoue@jp.ntt.net, tomohiro.nishitani@ntt.com Pages: 18 Characters: 41572 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-kamei-p2p-experiments-japan-09.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6875.txt This document describes experiments that clarify how an approach similar to Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) was effective in reducing network traffic. These experiments were performed in Japan by the P2P Network Experiment Council in an attempt to harmonize peer-to-peer (P2P) technology with network infrastructure. Based on what was learned from these experiments, this document provides some suggestions that might be useful for the ALTO architecture and especially for application-independent ALTO- like server operation.
