Abstract:
Cost metric is a basic concept in Application-Layer Traffic
Optimization (ALTO), and different applications may use different
cost metrics. Since the ALTO base protocol [RFC7285] defines only a
single cost metric (i.e., the generic "routingcost" metric), if an
application wants to issue a cost map or an endpoint cost request to
determine the resource provider that offers better delay performance,
the base protocol does not define the cost metric to be used.
This document addresses the issue by introducing network performance
metrics, including network delay, jitter, packet loss rate, hop
count, and bandwidth.
There are multiple sources (e.g., estimation based on measurements or
service-level agreement) to derive a performance metric. This
document introduces an additional "cost-context" field to the ALTO
"cost-type" field to convey the source of a performance metric.
