Hi all,

I submitted a new version of draft-ietf-alto-deployments. I changed the naming of some sections and also shifted text inside the document to have a more consistent structure, and this is why the diff shows a large number of changes. However, I hardly removed any content from the document. Basically, the intention of -08 is to have a baseline for future improvements of the content.

The major changes in -08 include:

* ToC naming changes

* New text in Section 2.2.3. More Advanced Deployments

* Existing text on data sources moved from later sections to Section 3.2 Provisioning of ALTO Maps

* Significant rewording of Section 3.4. Map Examples for Different Types of ISPs, including a small network and cost map example for illustration

* New section 6 for non-P2P and non-CDN use cases, currently only addressing draft-deng-alto-p2pcache (requested by the authors), further use cases still TBD

* Moving "Monitoring ALTO" to an Appendix. I have not managed to address the performance directorate review so far, but probably this section will have to be removed in its current form

* Numerous editorial bugfixes

It is obvious that further updates is needed and will happen - I just posted what I could get done before the deadline. Comments would still be very welcome.

Thanks

Michael

Abstract:
   Many Internet applications are used to access resources such as
   pieces of information or server processes that are available in
   several equivalent replicas on different hosts.  This includes, but
   is not limited to, peer-to-peer file sharing applications.  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, which are able to provide a desired
   resource.  This memo discusses deployment related issues of ALTO.  It
   addresses different use cases of ALTO such as peer-to-peer file
   sharing and CDNs, security considerations, recommendations for
   network administrators, and also guidance for application designers
   using ALTO.
