A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : ALTO Incremental Updates Authors : Wendy Roome Nico Schwan Filename : draft-roome-alto-incr-updates-00.txt Pages : 25 Date : 2014-02-13 Abstract: The goal of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to bridge the gap between network and applications by provisioning network related information. This allows applications to make informed decisions, for example when selecting a target host from a set of candidates. Therefore an ALTO server provides network and cost maps to its clients. However, those maps can be very large, and portions of those maps may change frequently (the cost map in particular). This draft presents a method to provide incremental updates for these maps. The goal is to reduce the load on the ALTO client and server by transmitting just the updated portions of those maps.
