ALTO Extension: Path Vector Cost Type
2019
The Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) protocol [RFC7285]
has defined cost maps and endpoint cost maps to provide basic network
information. However, they provide only scalar (numerical or ordinal)
cost mode values, which are insufficient to satisfy the demands of
solving more complex network optimization problems. This document
introduces an extension to the base ALTO protocol, namely the path-
vector extension, which allows ALTO clients to query information such
as the capacity region for a given set of flows (called co-flows). A
non-normative example called co-flow scheduling is presented to
illustrate the limitations of existing ALTO endpoint cost maps. After
that, details of the extension are defined.
