Mirror, mirror on the wall, which CDN is the best of all?

"A new visual dashboard launched by Cedexis on Monday provides a
country-by-country, vendor-by-vendor view of CDN and cloud
performance.  A tool like this is important as companies evaluate
moving more workloads to the cloud or clouds because it gives them some
basis for comparison." ...

See

http://gigaom.com/cloud/which-cloud-and-cdn-is-best-for-you-ask-cedexis/

They are doing it the hard way --- embedding JavaScript on select
pages to retrieve and aggregate the data.  But clearly, this aggregation
and information seems to be useful since Cedexis is selling the service
to large content providers.

I-D Action: draft-ietf-alto-reqs-14.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item
of the Application-Layer Traffic Optimization Working Group of the IETF.

	Title           : Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Requirements
	Author(s)       : Sebastian Kiesel
                          Stefano Previdi
                          Martin Stiemerling
                          Richard Woundy
                          Yang Richard Yang
	Filename        : draft-ietf-alto-reqs-14.txt
	Pages           : 22
	Date            : 2012-04-19

   Many Internet applications are used to access resources, such as
   pieces of information or server processes, which are available in
   several equivalent replicas on different hosts.  This includes, but
   is not limited to, peer-to-peer file sharing applications.  The goal
   of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to provide
   guidance to applications, which have to select one or several hosts
   from a set of candidates capable of providing a desired resource.
   This guidance shall be based on parameters that affect performance
   and efficiency of the data transmission between the hosts, e.g., the
   topological distance.  The ultimate goal is to improve performance
   (or Quality of Experience) in the application while reducing resource
   consumption in the underlying network infrastructure.

   This document enumerates requirements for specifying, assessing, or
   comparing protocols and implementations.

Re: WGLC: draft-ietf-alto-protocol-11

In general, this draft is in good shape.

One randomly caught problem, in Section 5.1.2.2, the ordinal mode introduction, it says this cost mode is a
ranking from a particular source to a set of destinations. But in Section 5.2, the introduction of cost map
structure, the cost mode "ordinal" can be applied to m*n entries in the cost map. So I suggest to modify the
previous section 5.1.2.2 to make them consistent.
