Concur.

ALTO is currently used in support of P2P and CDN operation. It has the
functionality to query the network topological data. However that's where
the similarity with SDN ends. Running them together, how are they
inter-related?

Also you have brought up the concept of SDN Domains. What are they? Who
owns them? Why do we need them? For scaling? For admin? If for scaling, SDN
controller intrinsically has no scaling problem per sa. For admin, SDN is
to offer an overlay architecture on top of the network with a uniformed
view from application perspective, which is opposite of having some sort of
peering models. Please elaborate your thoughts.
