Abstract:
   With the inception of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, the underlying
   concept of the blockchain has now attracted a large number of
   application scenarios.  Due to the decentralised nature of a typical
   blockchain service, a reliable communication between the different
   nodes is a mandatory requirement.  RFC7285 describes the idea of
   using Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) that is used to
   improve the communication in peer-to-peer networks.  This document
   describes the benefits of using ALTO in the context of a blockchain
   network, and highlights the improvements for a private, consortium
   and public blockchain.
