The goal of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to
provide guidance to applications that have to select one or several hosts
from a set of candidates capable of providing a desired resource. ALTO is
realized by a client-server protocol. Before an ALTO client can ask for
guidance, it needs to discover one or more ALTO servers.
This document specifies a procedure for resource-consumer-initiated ALTO
server discovery, which can be used if the ALTO client is embedded in the
resource consumer.
