Folks,

We just submitted a new version of the ALTO problem statement draft. Compared to the -04 version there are only minor changes: some text editing (based on comments received on the mailing list) and some new definitions regarding the protocols which are in scope or out of scope of the ALTO WG.

Feedback of course appreciated,

 - Jan

Filename:	 draft-marocco-alto-problem-statement
Revision:	 05
Title:		 Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Problem Statement
Creation_date:	 2009-03-08
WG ID:		 Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 14

Abstract:
Peer-to-peer applications, such as file sharing, real-time
communication, and live media streaming, use a significant amount of
Internet resources.  Such applications often transfer large amounts
of data in direct peer-to-peer connections.  However, they usually
have little knowledge of the underlying network topology.  As a
result, they may choose their peers based on measurements and
statistics that, in many situations, may lead to suboptimal choices.
This document describes problems related to optimizing traffic
generated by peer-to-peer applications and associated issues such
optimizations raise in the use of network-layer information.
