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.
