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 that can provide suitable guidance.
In some deployment scenarios, in particular if the information about
the network topology is partitioned and distributed over several ALTO
servers, an ALTO client may need to discover an ALTO server outside
of its own network domain, in order to get appropriate guidance.
This document details applicable scenarios, itemizes requirements,
and analyzes existing solution approaches for such ALTO cross-domain
server discovery. However, the specification of a procedure is
beyond the scope of this document. Note, that in earlier versions of
this document, ALTO cross-domain server discovery was referred to as
"third-party discovery", but it has been renamed to avoid naming
ambiguities.
