The IESG has received a request from the Application-Layer Traffic Optimization WG (alto) to consider the following document: - 'ALTO Server Discovery' <draft-ietf-alto-server-discovery-09.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-09-05. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The goal of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to provide guidance to applications that have to select one or several hosts from a set of candidates capable of providing a desired resource. ALTO is realized by a client-server protocol. Before an ALTO client can ask for guidance it needs to discover one or more ALTO servers. This document specifies a procedure for resource consumer initiated ALTO server discovery, which can be used if the ALTO client is embedded in the resource consumer. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-alto-server-discovery/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-alto-server-discovery/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1952/
