Hi Jensen and WG

I started to review the draft. I have one technical comment that I would
like to share:

In section 5.1 (Cost Mode :  Array):
*"This document extends the CostMode defined in Section 10.5 of [RFC7285]
with a new cost mode: "array".  This cost mode indicates that every cost
value in a cost map represents an array rather than a simple value.  The
values are arrays of JSONValue."*

It seems that the current path-vector draft can not support
multi-paths between source/destination points. What if an ALTO client wants
to know the different paths (or all paths) for a pair of endpoints or
PIDs?. For example, in the Broker-assisted architecture, a filtered cost
map could provide an array of arrays of values to provide all possible
paths for each source and destination node.

Let me know your thoughts about that.

Ss

Danny Lachos
