Dear ALTO WG members,
this draft is a candidate for our charter item: "One or more
alternatives to the base ALTO server discovery mechanism (RFC-to-be) to
accommodate environments where (1) timely deployment of existing
mechanisms, including the base ALTO server discovery mechanism, is
unlikely,". IP anycasting is a concept that is already in broad use,
e.g., for DNS root servers. So this document falls into the category
"If such discovery mechanisms can be reused, the WG will produce one or
more documents to specify how they may be adopted as additional or
alternative ALTO server discovery mechanisms."
Comments welcome.
Thanks
Sebastian

Title : Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Anycast
Address
Authors : Sebastian Kiesel

Filename : draft-kiesel-alto-ip-based-srv-disc-03.txt
Pages : 15

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.
This document establishes a well-known IP address for the ALTO
service and specifies how ALTO clients embedded in the resource
consumer can use it to access the ALTO service.
Terminology and Requirements Language
This document makes use of the ALTO terminology defined in RFC 5693
[RFC5693].
