Abstract:
Exposing additional topology information of networks to applications
and users beyond that of the current ALTO protocol can enable many
important existing and emerging use cases, and many network providers
already provide additional information about their networks. At the
same time, there is no standard for exposing network topology in a
manner that provides simplification via abstraction to the
application layer and information hiding via abstraction to the
network provider. In this document, we provide a survey of use-cases
for extended network topology information, present some initial
requirements for such services, and then give a framework of how to
integrate such an extended ALTO topology service with network control
infrastructure.
