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

Expected Dependencies on Other Projects
Expected Incompatibilities with Other Projects
- Not compatible with `odl-l2switch-switch`.
Compatibility with Previous Releases
- Both namespace migration and the adoption of incremental update and multicost can lead to incompatibilities with previous releases.
- We would provide a script to help with the migration.
