First of all, not all information is redistributed. Second, redistributed information must include accurate ALTO SERVER INFORMATION, e.g. network position or name, and what kind of information it is, so that client can judge the usage of the information. Last but not least, client must cognize his ALTO SERVER INFORMATION and share a unified information description language among all clients, at least those in one application swarm. Richard Alimi gave excellent examples in his email. Of course, there maybe other methods. By this mean, client can find suitable redistributed information. > Indeed, a CA-hierarchy is the technical solution.

Applications can make their clients cognize the dedicated CA as they notice clients about dedicated ALTO servers.
