[alto] draft-ietf-alto-deployments-09

Hi all,

I have updated the deployment draft. Specifically, I tried to address the two past reviews of the content of the Appendix A ("Monitoring ALTO") and to improve several other sections.

Major changes compared to -08:

- New text on data sources for the ALTO server

- CDN use case description completely updated, including some text and figures from draft-jenkins-alto-cdn-use-cases-03

- Short new section on using ALTO in VPNs

- Removal of Appendix A (Appendix: Monitoring ALTO), which was flagged in two reviews. The replacement is an entirely rewritten Section 3.4.

- Removal of Appendix B (Appendix: API between ALTO Client and Application)

Minor edits:

- Some re-wording in various sections, e.g., in the P2P use case

- Removal of maths in Section 5.2.1

- (Empty) IANA consideration section added

- Additional reference to new ALTO third party discovery draft

Feedback (and text contributions) would be very welcome!

Thanks

Michael

Abstract:
   Many Internet applications are used to access resources such as
   pieces of information or server processes that are available in
   several equivalent replicas on different hosts.  This includes, but
   is not limited to, peer-to-peer file sharing applications.  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, which are able to provide a desired
   resource.  This memo discusses deployment related issues of ALTO.  It
   addresses different use cases of ALTO such as peer-to-peer file
   sharing and CDNs, security considerations, recommendations for
   network administrators, and also guidance for application designers
   using ALTO.
