I think the issue of scoping is something that we definitely
have to work on.

I also suspect that ALTO solutions deployed by network operators
will probably make use of information carried in routing protocols
and, if it turns out that extensions to such protocols may be
beneficial, they should be specified in coordination with ALTO, but
probably in the Routing area.  At the current time, the viewpoints
of the ADs appear to be that ALTO will be either in RAI or Apps.

It would be great if you could describe this in a draft.  One of
the points we made in our workshop paper was the need for layer
cooperation.  Your existing work would go a long way to provide
some illumination of feasibility in that area.

Ciao.
