The IESG has received a request from the Application-Layer Traffic
Optimization WG (alto) to consider the following document: - 'Application
Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Cross-Domain Server
Discovery'
<draft-ietf-alto-xdom-disc-04.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
***@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-11-28. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to ***@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of
the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
Abstract
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 that can provide suitable guidance.
In some deployment scenarios, in particular if the information about
the network topology is partitioned and distributed over several ALTO
servers, it may be needed to discover an ALTO server outside of the
own network domain, in order to get appropriate guidance. This
document details applicable scenarios, itemizes requirements, and
specifies a procedure for ALTO cross-domain server discovery.
Technically, the procedure specified in this document takes one
IP address or prefix and a U-NAPTR Service Parameter (typically,
"ALTO:https") as parameters. It performs DNS lookups (for NAPTR
resource records in the in-addr.arpa. or ip6.arpa. tree) and returns
one or more URI(s) of information resources related to that IP
address or prefix.

IESG discussion can be tracked via

No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
