Abstract:
The Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) protocol is
designed to allow entities with knowledge about the network
infrastructure to export such information to applications that need
to choose one or more endpoints to connect to among large sets of
logically equivalent ones. The base protocol specification adopts a
simple pull-based model, according to which the client retrieves the
information encoded as JSON objects over HTTP directly from the
server.
This document proposes (for discussion) a mechanism for providing
server-initiated information update notifications through a
WebSocket-based ALTO protocol extension that easily integrates in the
basic protocol model.
