Yini eye yafezwa iqembu elisebenza nge-IETF ALTO?
Context:Kusukela cishe ngo-2005, ukusetshenziswa kabanzi kwezicelo ze-peer-to-peer ezifana ne-BitTorrent kwakuyinkinga enkulu kubaphathi abaningi benethiwekhi, njengoba inani elikhulu lomgwaqo wenethiwekhi obangelwa yilezi zicelo lalinomthelela omkhulu ekwakhiweni kwethrafikhi kanye nemali engenayo. Abanye abaqhubi benethiwekhi bazama ukuvimbela lokhu kuthutha.  NgoMeyi 2008, e-IETF Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Infrastructure, izindawo eziningana zomsebenzi zakhonjwa:  1. Izinkomo Isixhumi esibonakalayo esijwayelekile sokushintshaniswa kolwazi phakathi kwenethiwekhi ye-IP eyisisekelo nenethiwekhi ehlanganisiwe, njengenethiwekhi yontanga. Umqondo oyisisekelo uwukuthi, uma inethiwekhi yokwengeza yayikwazi i-topology kanye nezindleko zokuthumela ithrafikhi ngenethiwekhi ye-IP eyisisekelo, ingenza izinqumo ezinhle kakhulu maqondana ne-topology yenethiwekhi yokwengeza (isb., ukukhethwa kontanga) nokuqondiswa kwethrafikhi ngenethiwekhi yokwengeza. Umphumela kungaba ukusebenza okungcono noma izinga lokuhlangenwe nakho kuhlelo lokusebenza ngenkathi kunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwengqalasizinda yenethiwekhi eyisisekelo. Leliphuzu lomsebenzi laholela ekusungulweni kweqembu lomsebenzi le-IETF ALTO. 2. Izingelosi Okuqukethwe kugcinwa kunethiwekhi. Lokhu kuye kwahlolwa eqenjini le-IETF DECADE. Nokho, asikho isimiso esisha esakhiwe futhi sahlelwa. 3. Izindaba Ezinhle Inqubo entsha yokulawula ukuxinana ezingeni lokuthutha lokuhamba kwemigwaqo, "okunikezela" ku-TCP ejwayelekile. Lokhu kwasebenza eqenjini elisebenza nge-IETF LEDBAT futhi kwabekwa emgqeni e-RFC 6817. 4. Izidakamizwa Iphuzu elisha lekhodi ye-DefServ ukumaka amaphakethe e-IP ukuthi abe nesikhundla esiphansi kunesigaba esizenzakalelayo "somzamo omuhle kakhulu" senziwe saba semthethweni ku-RFC 8622.  Iqembu lokusebenza le-IETF ALTO lasungulwa ngoNovemba 2008. Okwaqala ukulethwa kwakuyisitatimende senkinga, idokhumenti yezidingo, ukucaciswa kwephrothokholi ye-ALTO eyinhloko kanye nenqubo yokuthola iseva ye-ALTO. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, izandiso ezihlukahlukene ziye zacaciswa (bheka ngezansi) noma zisasebenza (bheka i-IETF ALTO Datatracker).  Ekuqaleni yakhelwe ukusekela i-peer-to-peer yokwabelana ngamafayela, lo mqondo usebenza kabanzi ezinkingeni eziningi zenethiwekhi. Kodwa-ke, kusukela ngo-2021 ayizange ithole ukusatshalaliswa okubanzi ku-inthanethi. Noma kunjalo, kuye kwaba nokuhlolwa kwamanethiwekhi abahlinzeki bezinsizakalo ze-inthanethi (ISP) kanye nokusetshenziswa ukusekela ukudluliswa kwedatha enkulu ye-Large Hadron Collider eCERN.
Iqembu lokusebenza le-IETF ALTO lasungulwa ukuze kuxazululwe izinkinga ezibangelwa ukusetshenziswa kabanzi kwezicelo zontanga ezifana neBitTorrent. Iqembu elisebenza linikeze isitatimende senkinga, idokhumenti yezimfuneko, kanye nokucaciswa kwephrothokholi eyinhloko ye-ALTO kanye nendlela yokuthola iseva ye-ALTO. Kusengekho ukwamukelwa okubanzi kwephrothokholi ye-ALTO kusukela ngo-2021 yize amanye amanethiwekhi we-Internet service provider (ISP) eyizamile, kanti i-CERN iyisebenzise ukusekela ukudluliswa kwedatha enkulu ye-Large Hadron Collider.
