Abstract:
The Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) specification
defines the concept of Provider-defined Identifiers (PIDs) as the
aggregation of network endpoints for network nodes. Each PID can be
associated with a set of endpoint addresses, e.g. aggregating
endpoints that use the same network access point.
This document focuses on mobile networks and introduces proposes the
toidea of using use cells of cellular access networks as an
aggregation points. This allows applications to make decisions based
on the path cost of using the current cell as a network attachment
point, or to even choose which network access points network
attachment point to select. Use cases are described which can
benefit from this. The draft elaborates on possible ALTO
modifications enabling such use cases. The intent of the draft is to
start discussion on the topic.
