Application-Layer Traffic Optimization Incremental Updates Using Server-Sent Events
RFC 8895, “Application-Layer Traffic Optimization Incremental Updates Using Server-Sent Events”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2020 by W. Roome, Y. Yang. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) protocol (RFC 7285) provides network-related information, called network information resources, to client applications so that clients can make informed decisions in utilizing network resources. This document presents a mechanism to allow an ALTO server to push updates to ALTO clients to achieve two benefits: (1) updates can be incremental, in that if only a small section of an information resource changes, the ALTO server can send just the changes and (2) updates can be immediate, in that the ALTO server can send updates as soon as they are available.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
