ALTO Traffic Engineering Cost Metrics
draft-wu-alto-te-metrics-00
Abstract
Cost Metric is a basic concept in Application-Layer Traffic
Optimization (ALTO). It is used in both the Cost Map Service and the
Endpoint Cost Service. Future extensions to ALTO may also use Cost
Metric.
Different applications may benefit from different Cost Metrics. For
example, a Resource Consumer may prefer Resource Providers that have
low latency to the Resource Consumer. However the base ALTO protocol
[ALTO] has defined only a single cost metric, i.e., the generic
"routingcost" metric (Sec. 14.2 of ALTO base specification [ALTO]).
In this document, we define XXX Cost Metrics, derived from OSPF-TE
and ISIS-TE, to measure network delay, jitter, packet loss, hop
count, and bandwidth. The metrics defined in this document provide a
relatively comprehensive set of Cost Metrics for ALTO focusing on
traffic engineering. Additional Cost Metrics such as financial cost
metrics may be defined in other documents.

Internet-Draft ALTO TE Metrics October 2013
1. Introduction
Cost Metric is a basic concept in Application-Layer Traffic
Optimization (ALTO). It is used in both the Cost Map Service and the
Endpoint Cost Service. In particular, applications may benefit from
knowing network performance measured in several Cost Metrics. For
example, a more delay sensitive application may focus on latency, and
a more bandwidth-sensitive application may focus on available
bandwidth.
In this document, we define X Cost Metrics, extending the base ALTO
protocol [ALTO], which has defined only a single Cost Metric, i.e.,
the generic "routingcost" metric (Sec. 14.2 of ALTO base
specification [ALTO]).
The Cost Metrics that we define in this document focus on traffic
engineering. Additional metrics may be defined in other documents.
In particular, the Cost Metrics that we define in this document can
be gathered from routing systems; [OSPF-TE], [ISIS-TE], [BGP-LS] and
[BGP-PM] define mechanisms that allow an ALTO Server to retrieve and
derive the necessary information to provide the metrics that we
define in this document.
Note that the metrics that the ALTO Server retrieves may be defined
for only links, and hence, the server will need to compose the link
metrics to obtain path metrics used in services such as the Cost Map
Service. In this definition, we define the metrics to be independent
of link or path, considering that future ALTO extensions may define
link-based services, and hence the defined metrics should still be
usable.
One challenge in defining the metrics is that performance metrics
often depend on configuration parameters. For example, the value of
packet loss rate depends on the measurement interval. We handle this
issue [YRY: IMPORTANT TO SOLVE]
The definitions of a set Cost Metrics can allow us to extend the base
protocol (e.g., allowing output and constraints use different Cost
Metrics), but such extensions are not in the scope of this document.

Appendix A. Filtering constraint Extensions
Section 10.2.2.3 of "ALTO: Application Layer Traffic Optimization
Protocol" [I.D-ietf-alto-protocol] states:
"
object {
CostType cost-type;
[JSONString constraints<0..*>;]
[PIDFilter pids;]
} ReqFilteredCostMap;
object {
PIDName srcs<0..*>;
PIDName dsts<0..*>;
} PIDFilter;
with members:
cost-type The CostType (Section 9.7) for the returned costs. The
cost-metric and cost-mode fields MUST match one of the supported
Cost Types indicated in this resource's capabilities
(Section 10.2.2.4). The ALTO Client SHOULD omit the description
field, and if present, the ALTO Server MUST ignore the description
field.
constraints Defines a list of additional constraints on which
elements of the Cost Map are returned. This parameter MUST NOT be
specified if this resource's capabilities ( Section 10.2.2.4)
indicate that constraint support is not available. A constraint
contains two entities separated by whitespace: (1) an operator,
'gt' for greater than, 'lt' for less than, 'ge' for greater than
or equal to, 'le' for less than or equal to, or 'eq' for equal to;
(2) a target cost value. The cost value is a number that MUST be
defined in the same units as the Cost Metric indicated by the
cost-metric parameter. ALTO Servers SHOULD use at least IEEE 754
double-precision floating point [IEEE.754.2008] to store the cost
value, and SHOULD perform internal computations using double-
precision floating-point arithmetic. If multiple 'constraint'
parameters are specified, they are interpreted as being related to
each other with a logical AND.
"
In the JSON Object of type ReqFilteredCostMap, the constraint
attribute is expressed as:
"
[gt | lt | ge | le | eq ] <value>
"
Wu, et al. Expires April 24, 2014 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft ALTO TE Metrics October 2013
In this specification, the constraint attribute is changed to
"
<cost-type2> [gt | lt | ge | le | eq ] <value>
"
Accordingly, the constraints definition is changed to:
"
constraints Defines a list of additional constraints on which
elements of the Cost Map are returned. This parameter MUST NOT be
specified if this resource's capabilities ( Section 10.2.2.4)
indicate that constraint support is not available. A constraint
contains three entities separated by whitespace: (1)an cost type
is by default cost-type in the JSON Object of type ReqFilteredCostMap.
In addition, it could be another cost-type used for the returned cost
(2) an operator, 'gt' for greater than, 'lt' for less than, 'ge' for
greater than or equal to, 'le' for less than or equal to, or 'eq' for
equal to; (3) a target cost value. The cost value is a number that
MUST be defined in the same units as the Cost Metric indicated by the
cost-metric parameter. ALTO Servers SHOULD use at least IEEE 754
double-precision floating point [IEEE.754.2008] to store the cost
value, and SHOULD perform internal computations using double-
precision floating-point arithmetic. If multiple 'constraint'
parameters are specified, they are interpreted as being related to
each other with a logical AND.
"
