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 capable of providing a desired
resource.  ALTO is realized by a client-server protocol.  Before an
ALTO client can ask for guidance, it needs to discover one or more
ALTO servers.

This document specifies a procedure for resource-consumer-initiated
ALTO server discovery, which can be used if the ALTO client is
embedded in the resource consumer.

This document is a product of the Application-Layer Traffic Optimization Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
