[alto] draft-ietf-alto-deployments-13

Hi all,

Based on a suggestion of the chairs I have looked into how to include parts of draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation in draft-ietf-alto-deployments.

In general, draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation contains a useful and comprehensive deployment example as well as some lessons learnt. As far as I can tell, the example described in draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation seems realistic, and the resulting recommendations for ALTO deployments could be backed by other solutions to calculate ALTO maps. Thus, I think it would be useful to add significant parts of draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation to draft-ietf-alto-deployments, even if that document has already passed WGLC.

The new version  draft-ietf-alto-deployments-13 has three main changes:

* There is a new Section 3.6. "Comprehensive Example for Map Calculation" taken from draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation with only minor editorial modifications

* Section 3.2 has been updated in various paragraphs with additional material from draft-seidel-alto-map-calculation, as far as applicable

* Hans Seidel has been added as co-author

Please have a look at the new version -13 and let us know any feedback on the changes.

I would like to ask the chairs to run a new WGLC in order to finally move this document forward.

Thanks

Michael

Abstract:
   Many Internet applications are used to access resources such as
   pieces of information or server processes that are available in
   several equivalent replicas on different hosts.  This includes, but
   is not limited to, peer-to-peer file sharing applications.  The goal
   of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to provide
   guidance to applications that have to select one or several hosts
   from a set of candidates, which are able to provide a desired
   resource.  This memo discusses deployment related issues of ALTO.  It
   addresses different use cases of ALTO such as peer-to-peer file
   sharing and CDNs and presents corresponding examples.  The document
   also includes recommendations for network administrators and
   application designers planning to deploy ALTO, such recommendations
   how to generate ALTO map information.
