摘要

The invention is directed to a network, and method for operating a network, for allowing an effective traffic localization within an Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO), wherein an ALTO process is performed with regard to at least one application or resource consumer, and traffic information with respect to the at least one application or resource consumer will be provided and used within the ALTO process.

主权项

1. A method for operating a network, especially an Internet Protocol (IP) network, wherein an Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO™) process is performed with regard to at least one application or resource consumer,
wherein traffic information with respect to said at least one application or resource consumer will be provided and used within said ALTO™ process, wherein the traffic information comprises a current traffic localization degree, and wherein the traffic information will be obtained from a sending or feedback process to the ALTO™ process or ALTO™ server by at least one resource consumer or application.
