Re: [alto] a survey of ALTO

[Jensen Zhang <[e-mail]>]

Hi Shawn,

Thank you a lot! Also, thank Dawn and Danny. A survey on the current ALTO
related works is very helpful.

I believe your classification for the ALTO use cases is based on the role
ALTO plays in the existing system. Do we have any summary of the
requirements? All of them use the standard ALTO without any modification or
extension? I believe such information is more useful and should be
considered in the survey. Because we try to understand what are the
essential additional requirements for newer scenarios. It will decide
whether we need to recharter the WG.

Best,
Jensen
