This document establishes a well-known IP address for the ALTO service and specifies how ALTO clients embedded in the resource consumer can use it to access the ALTO service. Terminology and Requirements Language This document makes use of the ALTO terminology defined in RFC 5693 {[}RFC5693{]}.}, }
