Entities seeking guidance need to discover and possibly select an ALTO server to ask. This document proposes an ALTO-based scheme to select an ALTO server that can give guidance to a given ALTO client. Unlike some other proposed ALTO discovery mechanisms, this solution works well if the client seeks guidance from a set of ALTO servers that are operated by an entity which is not the operator of the access network.}, }
