Introduction

In the Carbon release the ALTO project is aimed to support some to-be-standard functionalities from the IETF ALTO Working Group. Also, simultaneous efforts must be made to improve the code quality of the existing components.

  • Functionalities

    • Incremental update, see [1]

    • Multicost, see [2]

    • "Routing state abstraction", see [3]

  • Code quality

    • Migrate to blueprint, see the introduction to blueprint

    • Use a unified namespace for ALTO services to simplify the migration when an experimental feature becomes a standard

    • Increase the test coverage to at least 40% (current is 21%), see sonar report
