Hello,

This new version draft-ietf-alto-cost-calendar-05.txt addresses the problems identified by the Idnits tool.
- A section on "Security Considerations" sections has been added,
- lines with a=excessive lengths have been shortened,
- one reference was moved from "normative" to "informative"

Besides: the IANA considerations sections has also been updated and its content is now:
" This document does not define any new media types or introduce any
new IANA considerations. "

Last the Acknowledgement section has also been revised.

Thanks,
Sabine

Abstract:
The goal of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to
bridge the gap between network and applications by provisioning
network related information in order to allow applications to make
network informed decisions. The present draft extends the ALTO cost
information so as to broaden the decision possibilities of
applications to not only decide 'where' to connect to, but also
'when'. This is useful to applications that need to schedule their
data transfers and connections and have a degree of freedom to do so.
ALTO guidance to schedule application traffic can also efficiently
help for load balancing and resources efficiency. Besides, the ALTO
Cost Calendar allows to schedule the ALTO requests themselves and
thus to save a number of ALTO transactions.

This draft proposes new capabilities and attributes on filtered cost
maps and endpoint cost maps enabling an ALTO Server to provide "Cost
Calendars". These capabilities are applicable to ALTO metrics with
time-varying values. With ALTO Cost Calendars, an ALTO Server
exposes ALTO cost values in JSON arrays where each value corresponds
to a given time interval. The time intervals as well as other
Calendar attributes are specified in the IRD and ALTO Server
responses.
