The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Use Cases for Content Delivery Network Interconnection' (draft-ietf-cdni-use-cases-10.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Content Delivery Networks Interconnection Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Martin Stiemerling and Wesley Eddy. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-cdni-use-cases/ Technical Summary Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are commonly used for improving the End User experience of a content delivery service, at a reasonable cost. This document focuses on use cases that correspond to identified industry needs and that are expected to be realized once open interfaces and protocols supporting interconnection of CDNs are specified and implemented. The document can be used to guide the definition of the requirements to be supported by CDN Interconnection (CDNI) interfaces. It obsoletes RFC 3570. Working Group Summary There was strong consensus in the CDNI WG to publish this document to document the use cases to be supported by the deliverables of the working group. Document Quality Despite many existing CDN implementations, there are no implementations of CDN interconnection that support the use cases presented in this document. Many CDN technology vendors and service providers are interested in supporting and deploying the use cases discussed in this document. Personnel Francois Le Faucheur (flefauch@cisco.com) is the Document Shepherd. Martin Stiemerling (martin.stiemerling@neclab.eu) is the Responsible Area Director.
