Hi Rich,

You have discussed the default cost in the ALTO protocol presentation during the IETF-78 meeting. Slide 4 of http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/78/slides/alto-8.pdf.

I did only a quick check of the new draft but could only find default cost type but not the default costs for unknown entries.

I have may missed it in the text.

Thanks

  Martin
