A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Content Delivery Networks Interconnection Working Group of the IETF. Title : Content Distribution Network Interconnection (CDNI) Problem Statement Author(s) : Ben Niven-Jenkins Francois Le Faucheur Nabil Bitar Filename : draft-ietf-cdni-problem-statement-06.txt Pages : 40 Date : 2012-05-19 Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) provide numerous benefits: reduced delivery cost for cacheable content, improved quality of experience for End Users and increased robustness of delivery. For these reasons they are frequently used for large-scale content delivery. As a result, existing CDN Providers are scaling up their infrastructure and many Network Service Providers (NSPs) are deploying their own CDNs. It is generally desirable that a given content item can be delivered to an End User regardless of that End User's location or attachment network. This is the motivation for interconnecting standalone CDNs so they can interoperate as an open content delivery infrastructure for the end-to-end delivery of content from Content Service Providers (CSPs) to End Users. However, no standards or open specifications currently exist to facilitate such CDN interconnection. The goal of this document is to outline the problem area of CDN interconnection for the IETF CDNI (CDN Interconnection) working group.
