Network Overlay Impacts to Streaming Video
draft-deen-mops-network-overlay-impacts-02
Abstract
This document examines the operational impacts to streaming video
applications caused by changes to network policies by network
overlays. The network policy changes include IP address assignment,
transport protocols, routing, DNS resolver which in turn affect a
variety of important content delivery aspects such as latency, CDN
cache selection, delivery path choices, traffic classification and
content access controls.

1. Introduction
The past decade of Internet evolution has included two significant
trends, the global growth of video streaming and active passionate
work within the IETF on enhancing Internet user privacy.
The work on these initiatives has largely occured independently of
one another, though there are a few individuals and companies that
are involved with both efforts.
The arrival of the newly developed privacy enhancements in consumer
products and their subsequent use by streaming video viewers has
brought the results of the two efforts into contact and a number of
friction points are now being encountered which are having impacts to
the viewers, support engineers and operational aspects of video
streaming platforms.
To be clear, this document is not proposing or advocating rolling
back any of the privacy enhancements for the viewers. Instead the
authors hope to help describe the problem space and educate the IETF
and others on the practical operational impacts of these enhancements
and to eventually develop approaches that can help mitigate such
impacts.
The authors also readily acknowledge the many challenges and
difficulties in improving Internet privacy in an area as complex as
the Internet while also maintaining compatibiltiy with the wildly
varied applications and uses of the Internet on which users rely upon
daily in their lives. This is hard stuff and it's very natural for
there to be operational considerations that must be understood and
folded back into architectural designs and consumer products.
The motivation in developing this document is to provide a meaningful
and helpful feedback from the streaming application and streaming
platform operational perspective to help the enhanced privacy
architecture work being done at the IETF.

Internet-Draft NOISV October 2024
2. Internet Privacy Enhancements
Enhancing the Internet's privacy is a difficult challenge, given the
complexity of the Internet itself. It's common for solutions that
address one issue to inadvertently create new problems elsewhere.
That's not a reason to stop trying, but it is important to understand
the consequences of changes and to find ways to manage or mitigate
such impacts, ideally without weakening or rolling back the
enhancements.
A popular design choice in privacy enhancements at the IETF has been
the encapsulation of data inside encrypted connections along with
other network policy changes to introduce changes which make
observing and tracing data difficult to do and difficult to associate
to any particular user.
[RFC7258] from the IAB examines various pervasive montoring
approaches while [RFC7624] discusses responses that enhance privacy.
[RFC9000] itself is an excellent example of the applied design
approaches and introduces the QUIC transport protocol that is always
encrypted.
2.1. Network Overlays
Along with the use of encrypted connections another popular approach
is to additionally create alternative routes and tunnels for
connections which bypass the routing and other policy decisions of
the ISP access network and of the public open Internet. These
alternative network policy choices have the effect of creating a
Network Overlay that operates on top of and over the device's Access
Network and the Open Internet, but follows an independent set of
policies chosen by the Network Overlay.
R = router
<--- non-overlay traffic path --->
device -- R ---- R ------------- R ------------- R ---- R -- dest-node
\ /
\ /
\ /
R -- R -- ingest -- egress -- R ------+
<--- overlay traffic path --->
Figure 1: Network Overlay routing select traffic via an alternate path
Deen & Mishra Expires 13 April 2025 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft NOISV October 2024
2.1.1. Partitioning
Network Overlay policy changes includes an alternate routing policy
since a fundamental aspect of this design is the tunneling of
connections through alternate paths to enhance privacy. The reasons
for this approach are discussed in the IAB document Partitioning as
an Architecture for Privacy (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-
iab-privacy-partitioning/).
2.1.2. Policy Changes
Beyond alternate routing policies, network overlays often also make
changes to the Source IP Address assignment, and/or selection of the
DNS Resolver and/or including protocol conversions/translations such
as HTTP2->HTTP3 and HTTP2->HTTPS2+TLS, and can include IP layer
changes such as IPv4->IPv6 or IPv6->IPv6 conversions.
2.1.3. MASQUE
Protocols such as MASQUE [RFC9484] and services built on it such as
Apple's iCloud Private Relay (https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/
iCloud_Private_Relay_Overview_Dec2021.PDF) are examples of Privacy
Enhancing Network Overlays that involve making a number of network
policy changes from the open Internet for the connections passed
through them.
2.2. Making It Easy (for Users) by Working Under the Covers
Historically, incorporating privacy features into consumer-facing
products has been complex. This challenge arises from the need to
address a wide range of use cases while also offering users easy
access to advanced privacy frameworks and taxonomies. Many attempts
have been made and very few have achieved finding success with end
users.
Perhaps learning from the lessons of offering too many options, the
recent trend in privacy enhancements has steered torward either a
very simple "Privacy On or Off" switch or in other cases
automatically enabling or "upgrading" to enhance privacy. Apple's
iCloud Private Relay can be easily turned on with a single settings
switch, while privacy features such as Encrypted DNS over HTTP and
upgrade from HTTP to HTTPS connections have had a number of
deployments that automatically enable them for users when possible.
Keeping with the motto of "Keep It Simple", users are generally not
provided with granular Network Overlay controls permitting the user
to select what applications, or what network connections the Network
Overlay's policies can apply to.
Deen & Mishra Expires 13 April 2025 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft NOISV October 2024
Adhereing with the "Keep It Simple" approach the application itself
has very little connection to privacy enhancing Network Overlays.
Applications generally do not have a means to detect when networking
policy changes are active. Applications generally do not have a
means to access policy change settings or to interact to change them.
3. Streaming Video
Streaming Video, while just one of the many different Internet
applications does standout from other uses in a number of significant
ways that perhaps merit some amount of special consideration in
understanding and addressing the impacts caused by particular privacy
enhancing design and service offering choices.
Firstly, Streaming video operates at a hard to imagine scale -
streaming video is served globally to more than 2 billion user daily
currently and continuing to grow in leaps and bounds.
Secondly, the content types delivered through streaming has evolved
from the pre-recorded low-resolution, low-bit rate, latency tolerant
video-on-demand movies, live or pre-recorded TV shows, and user
generated videos delivered by pioneering streaming platforms to now
including low-latency 4K and 8K live sports events, while also
evolving the pre-recorded content with high-bit rate such as 4K and
8K cinema quality and High Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting.
Finally, the expectations of streaming video viewers have
significantly evolved from the days of settling for being able to
watch a movie in a PC browser. Viewers expect to watch on any device
type they want ranging from low-end-streaming sticks that plug into a
USB port, to 4K and HDR capable laptops, 4K and 8K HDR TV screens,
gaming consoles, smart phones and many more choices. Viewers also
expect to have the same great viewing experience while at home
connected via high-speed wired Internet, high-speed WiFi, or mobile
cellular 5G and even satellite Internet connections.
To meet the growth to billions of users, the growth in content type,
quality and speed expectations, and on-any-device anywhere that I am
over any-network-connection expectations of users the Streaming Video
technology infrastructure has had to itself evolve significantly.
This video streaming evolution work is being done in the IETF and in
the Streaming Video Technology Alliance (SVTA)
(https://www.svta.org/), and in a number of other technical and
industry groups.
It's hard to overstate just how much the growth of streaming video
has contributed to the growth of the Internet. Internet connections
of multiples of hundred megabits and gigabits speeds today are
Deen & Mishra Expires 13 April 2025 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft NOISV October 2024
because of the needs of video streaming, the ongoing work on low-
latency networking and ultra-low-latency video delivery are both
driven by the use of streaming video.
3.1. Advances in Streaming Video Architecture
Internet streaming has greatly matured and diversified from its early
days of viewers watching pre-recorded 320x240, 640x480 standard
definiton 480p movies to wired PCs connected to the Internet via
high-latency, low-bandwidth DSL as early DOCSIS modems.
Streaming has grown to the extent that it has become a daily go-to
video source world wide for billions of viewers and has expanded from
pre-recorded movies to encompass every type of video content
imaginable. This growth to billions of viewers and the addition of
low latency sensistive content and new connectivity options like
WiFi, Cellular and Satellite in addition to high-speed DOCSIS and
fiber is the world streaming platforms now provide service in.
With the large user base and its usage, the Streaming platforms also
have significant technical challenges to meet viewer expectations:
* (1) Delivery scales that commonly range from hundreds of thousands
to many millions of viewers simultaneously, with billions of views
globally daily;
* (2) Low latency demands from live sports, live events and live
streamed content;
* (3) content resolutions and corresponding formats which have
jumped from the days of SD-480p to 4K (3840x2160) and 8K
(7680x4320) along with bit rates which can had data needs of
10-24+ Mbps for 4K with 8K demanding 40 Mbps under extreme
compression and 150-300 Mbps for high quality such as cinema;
* (4) devices with very diverse capabilities low-cost streaming
sticks, to Smart TVs, tablets, phones, and game consoles
* (5) broad range of connectivity choices including WiFi, Gig speed-
low latency DOCSIS, Fiber, satellite, and 5G cellular networks;
* (6) application transport protocols including MPEG DASH, HLS,
HTTP2/TCP, HTTP3/QUIC, WebRTC, Media over QUIC (MoQ) and specialty
application transports such as SRT, HESP etc.
Deen & Mishra Expires 13 April 2025 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft NOISV October 2024
To meet these challenges streaming platforms have significantly
invested in developing delivery architectures that are built with
detailed understandings of each element in the content delivery
pathway starting from the content capture all the way through to the
screen of the viewer.
Streaming applications are part of an end-to-end architecture that is
optimized around achieving the best experience including low latency
video delivery to viewing devices. The open Internet can be
unpredictable with temporary issues like packet loss, congestion and
other conditions. However, streaming architecture is desiged to
handle these momentary problems as effectively as possible often
through use of dynamic adaptive approaches designed into streaming
protocols and platform components.
4. Emerging Operational Issues with Network Overlay Policy Changes
Streaming video applications and the streaming platforms delivering
content are starting to encounter various operational challenges
related to Network Overlays. Typically the primary problems are
encountered when the network overlay has made policy changes that are
either unexpected, are difficult or impossible for the streaming
platform to detect, or the changes are inconsitently applied.
There are a variety of impacts but a few common classes of issues
have been observed:
4.1. Policy Changes Hidden from Applications
One of the central recurring issues with streaming applications
running on devices or networks with changed policies due to network
overlays is that the changes are often hidden from the applications.
Applications often find it difficult or even impossible to detect
when network policy changes will be active and what they are
changing. For example, a device may have a desingated default DNS
resolver for the device, but may have a different resolver selected
depending on how the streaming application queries the DNS.
Likewise, a streaming application might find that one application
transport protocol such as HTTP queries will have one set of routing
policies applied to it but a different appliction transport like
HTTPS may have a different set of routing policies applied.
Deen & Mishra Expires 13 April 2025 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft NOISV October 2024
Streaming applications that cannot determine the exact behavior to be
expected can prevent the streaming application from making good
content source decisions and can prevent appllications from being
able to provide reliable feedback and logs when problems are
encountered.
4.2. Routing Changes
Routing changes which cause connections between video applications
and the infrastructure servcices they use can create a large number
of problems.
4.2.1. End to End Problem Discovery
A common issue in video delivery is locating where along the delivery
path the video transport is encountering problems. Often such
problems are more complex than the connection not working at but
instead involve identifying bottleneck, lost packets, congestion
issues. When the routing changes from what is expected or visible to
support tools it becomes an operational trouble spot for users and
platform suport to location and determine the source of the problems.
4.2.2. CDN Edge Cache Selection due to Routing
A significant, and often overlooked problm is the addition of network
latency compared to edge CDN caches or access network peering
connections. Routing changes which cause bypassing edge CDN caches
and instead choosing less optimal caches
R = router
<--- non-overlay traffic path --->
device -- R ---- R ---- Edge CDN Cache
\
\
\
R --- R -- ingest -- R --- R -- egress -- R ------R ---- Less Optimal CDN Cache
<--- overlay traffic path --->
Figure: Routing Changes alering CDN Cache selection
4.3. Changed Encryption Policy
Changing the encryption policy applied to video streams either adding
where it wasn't orginally used or removing if it was originally
specified can cause a wide range of operational problems.
Deen & Mishra Expires 13 April 2025 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft NOISV October 2024
4.3.1. Forced Encryption Upgrade
Changing unencrytped HTTP2 to encrypted HTTP2+TLS connects will
prohibit streaming workflows that involve content detection as part
of the network delivery. This can result in video traffic not being
correctly identified and the incorrect network policies being applied
to it. This is particularly problematic in environments using
multicast and in mobile environments.
4.3.2. Forced Encryption Downgrade
Equally so, removing of encryption applied to the transport stream by
a streaming platform would be significantly problematic as such
encryption may be part of a content protection and content integrity
protections architecture.
4.4. Changed DNS Resolver Selection
DNS Resolver choice changes resulting in less optimal CDN cache
selection or bypassing of CDN load balancing direction
4.5. Changed Source IP Address
Changing the Source IP Address for the application's connections to
Streaming Platform Servers resulting in logging, geofencing, and
session management problems
4.6. Performance and Problem determination
Network overlays often interfere with the tools used in performance
and problem determination. This is due to either the tool and
protocols not able to traverse the alternative route tunnel impacting
services ability to diagnose connection and performance problems, or
the network overlay itself not supporting the tool and not supporting
or carrying the tools functions.
4.7. Impact of Changing Network Routing and other Policies
The problem for streaming applications occurs when the underlying
network properties and policies change from what is expected by the
streaming application. In particular when such changes are either
hidden or not visible to the streaming application.
While the open Internet is a dynamic environment, changing of basic
network behavior and policies from what is expected as seen from the
streaming application, deviate unexpectedly from what the streaming
application expects. This behavior disrupts the optimized streaming
delivery architecture for the end-user device. Changes to Network
Deen & Mishra Expires 13 April 2025 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft NOISV October 2024
Policies such the routing, source IP address assigned to the
streaming application traffic, DNS resolver choice etc influences
this behavior.
Having a reliable understanding of the delivery path is essential for
streaming operators and the introduction of network overlays like
those based on technologies such as MASQUE especially when designed
to be undetectable by the applications using them has introduced new
technical challengess for streaming operators and network operators
as well as for their viewers.
The core problem occurs when changes to network policies are made,
often without notification or visibilty to applications and without
clear methods of probing to determine and test changed behaviors that
affect the streaming application's content delivery path resulting in
increased latency, changes of IP address for the application as seen
by either the application or the streaming service connection,
changes to DNS resolvers being queried and the results returned by
DNS, and changes to application transports such as adding or removing
outer layer encryption are all problems that have been observed in
production streaming platforms.
4.7.1. Middleboxes and learning from the past
The IETF has discussed this situation in the past, more than 20 years
ago in 2002 Middleboxes: Taxonomy and Issues [RFC3234] was published
capturing the issues with Middleboxes in the network and the affects
of hidden changes occuring on the network between the sender and
receiver.
5. Appendix A: Network Overlays are different than VPNs
While conceptually similar in many ways to VPN (Virtual Private
Network) technology, the various network overlay technologies
currently being deployed as well as new ones currently being designed
by the IETF differ quite siginificanlty from the older VPN approach
they are replacing in a number of ways.
It is also worth noting that one reason why the issues discussed in
this document have not been concerned with regard to VPNs is that
largely VPNs have not been a pervasive way to stream video. First,
many VPNs have not had very good or consistent throughput compared to
the direct open Internet and so provide a poor viewing experience.
Second, many video platforms block or deny service to VPN connections
due to the very common use of VPNs to bypass geofiltering
restrictions.
Deen & Mishra Expires 13 April 2025 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft NOISV October 2024
Whatever the reason, it's work looking at how VPNs differ from the
Network Overlays being discussed herein.
5.1. VPNs typically:
* (1) VPNs typically are detectable by both the video application
and often by the streaming platform.
* (2) VPNs typically work at the network layer of a device,
resulting in a wide-range (if not all) transports
* and protocols from the device flowing through the VPN
* (3) VPNs typically provide exception options allowing for
exclusion from traversing via the VPN based on
* various criteria such as application, destination IP address,
application protocol etc.
5.1.1. Network Overlays typically:
* (1) Network Overlays are often undetectable by video applications
or by the streaming platform, when in use
* (2) Network Overlays often only apply to specific application
transports such as HTTP2/TCP or HTTP3/QUIC while not applying to
HTTP2/TCP+TLS on the same device.
* (3) Network Overlays often only apply to HTTP connections and do
not support ICMP, non-http versions of DNS, NTP etc, and various
tools used for network measurement, problem determination, and
network management that are not http based.
* (4) Network Overlays do not expose to applications any means for
the application to discover the policy changes the overlay will
apply to the applications network connections.
* (5) Network Overlays do not expose mechanisms or APIs for
applications to interact with them such as getting or setting
options.
