Abstract:
   The goal of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to
   bridge the gap between network and applications by provisioning
   network related information.  This allows applications to make
   informed decisions, for example when selecting a target host from a
   set of candidates.

   Therefore an ALTO server provides network and cost maps to its
   clients.  However, those maps can be very large, and portions of
   those maps may change frequently (the cost map in particular).

   This draft presents a method to provide incremental updates for these
   maps.  The goal is to reduce the load on the ALTO client and server
   by transmitting just the updated portions of those maps.
