Service providers are starting to deploy computing capabilities across the network for hosting applications such as AR/VR, vehicle networks, IoT, and AI training, among others. In these distributed computing environments, knowledge about computing and communication resources is necessary to determine the proper deployment location of each application. This document proposes an initial approach towards the use of ALTO to expose such information to the applications and assist the selection of their deployment locations.
