Greetings all,

Thanks for the interesting RG meeting last afternoon.
Upon the talk of Olivier Bonaventure, and discussions, I gather that several viewpoints are considered, in particular the one of the user or end host or application that would like to have a better insight on the path(s) used to connect to another end host and that does not have the same network insight sa a router.

The ALTO WG has been mentioned in the discussion and will have its meeting Thursday 20th at 13h30 - Karlin III.

The ALTO protocol specified in RFC7285 conveys provider-centric abstracted network topology information to OTT applications that cannot get this information by other means.  The ALTO WG currently is specifying extensions to the base protocol addressing some of the challenges discussed this afternoon. So it may be interesting if you can drop by.

Best regards,
Sabine
