[Sabine Randriamasy <[e-mail]>]

Dear all,

I have submitted an informational draft, entitled "Multi-Cost ALTO". 

There are 2 parts in this draft:
- the first part  proposes protocol extensions to support requests on 
multiple CostTypes in 1 transaction,
- the second part proposes additional CostTypes and Cost attributes such 
as (valitity period, timeframe, reliability... ). This part is certainly 
subject to discussions and updates w.r.t. the Alto scope.

I'd be interested in having your feedback and comments, that could be 
taken into account in further versions.

Thanks and best regards,
Sabine

IETF is designing a new service called ALTO (Application Layer
traffic Optimization) that includes a "Network Map Service", an
"Endpoint Cost Service" and an "Endpoint (EP) Ranking Service" and
thus incentives for application clients to connect to ISP preferred
Endpoints.  These services provide a view of the Network Provider
(NP) topology to overlay clients.

The present draft proposes a light way to extend the information
provided by the current ALTO protocol.  The purpose is to broaden the
possibilities of the Application Clients in two ways: firstly by
providing a better mapping of the Selected Endpoints to needs of the
growing diversity of Content Networking Applications and to the
network conditions, secondly by producing a more robust choice of
multiple Endpoints, helping thus out for efficient Multi-Path
transfer.

There are 2 parts in this draft: the first part proposes protocol
extensions to support requests on multiple CostTypes in 1
transaction; the second part proposes additional CostTypes and Cost
attributes such as valitity period, timeframe and reliability.
