Rich, all, This is a comment about section 9.6.3. Protocol Extension: 'Location-Only' Peer Selection in draft-ietf-alto-protocol-05:
I think this proposed extension is problematic, as we would have to define what an ISP is, and "same ISP is good" is not true in all scenarios. Furthermore, I think we don't need additional protocol mechanisms for implementing your idea: Just use the "relative operator's preference" rating criterion (see ALTO reqs, ARv05-16). Configure the ALTO server to answer with "1" for IP addresses / PIDs inside the ISP and with "0" otherwise. Technically, this is the same as your approach, but it does not introduce new mechanisms and it avoids having to define what an ISP is. Comments?
