Re: [alto] ALTO server discovery

Hi Song,

Our ALTO Discovery document (draft-wang-alto-discovery-00) doesn't try to make a concrete proposal on a discovery protocol until the ALTO protocol and architecture are better defined.   At this point the draft addresses some considerations to be taken into account to decide the discovery mechanism, and describes some existing discovery protocols explaining how they could be applied to ALTO, their advantages and their limitations.    Our idea is to avoid defining new discovery protocols and reuse the existing ones describing how they can be applied to the ALTO use case.

BR,
G.

Hi all,

We also submit an ALTO server discovery draft. Here is the link:

http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-song-alto-server-discovery-00.txt

Now there are two drafts on ALTO server discovery. I think they have commonness and differences. Our draft mainly focuses on the scenario where network operators provide the alto servers. The solution has the consideration for residential gateways when using DHCP option to retrieve the alto service name. We also take into account the discovery process by end terminals and application trackers(or proxies). These two drafts can be of compleme
ntary to each other.

Any comments are appreciated!

Best Regards!
Song Haibin
