1. Introduction

  In the context of CDNI, the downstream CDN needs to advertise some
  of its information to the upstream CDN to facilitate the upstream
  CDN selecting an appropriate CDN as the target in request routing,
  such as downstream CDN capabilities, resources and affinities (i.e.
  Preferences or cost).

  This document focuses on defining the information needed to be
  exchanged in CDNI and the corresponding advertising protocol, which
  is one of the main components of CDNI.


1.1. Terminology

  This document reuses the terminology defined in [I-D.draft-cdni-
  problem-statement].

  explicitly shown. Although that might be changed later upon the
  working group's decision, but now it is thought that capability
  advertisement is part of the function of the Request Routing
  interface.

2. Conventions used in this document

  The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
  "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
  document are to be interpreted as described in RFC-2119 [RFC2119].

3. CDN selection criteria

  An upstream CDN may perform downstream CDN selection according to
  different kinds of filtering criteria deriving from CP's requirement
  and/or its local policy.

  One kind of criteria is derived from CP's requirement. Each CP is
  most likely to expect to control the distribution and delivery of
  its contents by its delegated CDN. To achieve that, CP reflects its
  requirements via metadata pertaining to the content and transfer the
  metadata to the CDN to enforce that. In the context of CDNI, this
  metadata should also be further transferred to a downstream CDN for
  the same purpose. Subsequently, while the upstream CDN receving a
  content request and intends to select an appropriate downstream CDN
  from multiple ones to redirect the request, it should filter the
  downstream CDNs according the metadata, e.g. in the metadata, it is
  required the content should be delivered via HTTP adaptive streaming
  service, a downstream CDN without the capability should not be
  selected. Therefore, the required capability contained in the
  metadata as a source of filtering criteria is needed for CDN
  selection and is to be advertised from a downstream CDN to an
  upstream CDN.

  Another kind of criteria is derived from upstream CDN's local policy.
  There are various kind of local poicy deployed, e.g. minimal load
  first, minimal expense first, optimal QoS preferred etc. To
  implement these policies, relative capability/status information of
  a downstream CDN should be advertised to its upstream CDN.

  In addition, general information like service status, IP version of
  downstream CDN should also be taken into account while making the
  CDN selection.

  Based on the above mentioned filtering criteria, we can list the

Internet-Draft          cap-info-advertising                March 2012


  corresponding capability and status information needed as followings:

    * General information like the service status, IP version of the
    downstream CDN is needed.

    * Footprint of the downstream CDN is needed if proximity is
    preferred while making routing decision.

    * Load status of resources is needed if minimal load is preferred
    while making routing decision.

    * Cost information of downstream CDN is needed if minimal cost is
    preferred while making routing decision.

    * Delivery capability information like delivery service type, user
    authentication method of downstream CDN is needed if CP's
    requirements contained in CDNI metadata is the main preference of
    routing decision.

    Note: The information needed to be advertised according to the CDNI
    metadata should be adjusted once protocol on that interface is
    finalized.

4. Description of information

  According to the CDN selection criteria listed in section 3, the
  relative capability and status information advertised from a
  dwonstream CDN to an interconnected upstream CDN is described in
  detail in the following clause. The information is considered all as
  mandatory unless otherwise state explicitly.

4.1. General information

4.1.1. Service status

 Service status is used to indicate that the downstream CDN is in
 service or out of service of CDNI. In service means that the
 downstream CDN's status is normal and it is willing to take requests
 from an upstream CDN. Out of service means that the downstream CDN can
 not take any requests from an upstream CDN due to some abnormal cases,

 e.g.:

   O Some kind of resource on the downstream CDN is exhausted.

   O Network link between the two connected CDNs is abnormal.

Internet-Draft          cap-info-advertising                March 2012


   O Downstream CDN is down.

4.1.2. IP version

 IP address version of which a downstream CDN can serve for endpoints.
 The value it takes could be "IPV4", "IPV6" and "IPV4&IPV6" the last
 one means that the downstream CDN can serve for both the types of
 endpoints.

4.2. Footprint

  Footprint indicates the geographic region for which a CDN can serve.
  It is identified by a set of country, state and city code
  combination as defined in ISO 3166-2 or a set of autonomous system
  number or a set of IP subnet.

  A downstream CDN may advertise its footprint in a macro level e.g.
  the country names of the serving regions belong to, it may also
  advertise its footprint in a granularity of subset of the macro
  level, e.g. detail state or city name of the serving regions. In the
  later case, if there are multiple regions belong to one country a
  downstream CDN can serve, then there will be multiple state or city
  footprint elements in one advertisement message. This finer
  granularity allows an upstream CDN understand the downstream CDN
  more precisely but puts more requirements on the downstream CDN.
  Therefore, it is up to the downstream CDN to determine to which
  granularity it should advertise to an upstream CDN.

  Upon each footprint, the other information like load status of
  resources, capability information described in the following part of
  this section are encapsulated to express the current status and
  capabilities associated to this specific region.

4.3. Load status

  Load status represents the status of resources assigned to an
  upstream CDN by a downstream CDN and their current usage. This
  information is important for the upstream CDN to implement the
  minimal load first local policy. It contains a mandatory binary
  serving indication to tell the upstream CDN whether the downstream
  CDN can or cannot serve end users on behalf of the upstream CDN from
  the perspective of resource load. It can optional contains the
  detailed contracted and current used value of a specific resource in
  case  that  the  downstream  CDN  is  willing  to  advertise  such
  information to the upstream CDN. For example they belong to one
  group and have a strong trust relationship between them.

Internet-Draft          cap-info-advertising                March 2012


4.3.1. Basic serving indicator

  Basic serving indicator is used to tell whether a downstream CDN has
  the ability to accept more additional requests from the upstream CDN
  or not from the perspective of its resource load status.

4.3.2. Detailed resource status

  Detailed resource status is used to advertise the maximum value of
  capacity the downstream CDN committed to the upstream CDN and the
  current assignments of it. This information can be leveraged by the
  upstream CDN to implement a more accurate CDN selection if there
  exists multiple candidate downstream CDNs through the previous basic
  serving indication. It is reflected through the following three
  category resource in detail:

    * Connection Allowed, Connection Assigned

    This information is used to indicate the maximum number of
    simultaneous TCP connections for HTTP of the downstream CDN
    committed to provide to the upstream CDN for content delivery and
    the current used number respectively.

    * Bandwidth Allowed, Bandwidth Consumed

    This information is used to indicate the maximum value of bandwidth
    for content delivery of the downstream CDN committed to provide to
    the upstream CDN and current used value respectively.

   Note: The value of "andwidth Allowed" and "Bandwidth Consumed" may
  be an absolute value taking only the physical bandwidth of the CDN
  into account or it may be a normalized value which may also consider
  the disk I/O capacity and CPU usage as a whole. This depends on the
  CDN specific implementation and is out of scope of CDNI.

    * Cached Assets Allowed, Cached Assets

    This information is used to indicate the maximum value of storage
    capacity of cache of the downstream CDN committed to provide to the
    upstream CDN and current used value respectively.

4.4. Cost preferences

  Cost preferences of the downstream CDN. Different downstream CDNs

Internet-Draft          cap-info-advertising                March 2012


  may characterize cost via various metrics e.g. hop-count, air-miles,
  or monetary cost. An upstream CDN can negotiate with a downstream
  CDN on how to characterize cost of CDNI via the attributes "cost
  type" and "cost mode".

  Note: The detailed mechanism that the two interconnected CDNs
  negotiating on the abstract cost assignment is out of scope of this
  draft.

   o  type: identifies what the costs represent, e.g. hop-count,
   monetary cost etc;

   o mode:  identifies  how  the  costs  should  be  interpreted.
   Specifically, the mode attribute indicates whether returned costs
   should be interpreted as numerical values or ordinal rankings. It is
   important to communicate such information to the upstream CDN, as
   certain operations may not be valid on certain costs returned by a
   downstream CDN.

    o  cost: value of the cost corresponding to the selected type and
     mode.

4.5. Authentication capability

  Authentication capability describes the authentication type and
  relative parameters a downstream CDN supports to the clients.  It
  provides information for content delivery such that the user agent
  can be authenticated as a client when requesting content from a
  downstream CDN. The authentication capability contains the
  following attributes:

     O type - a string indicating the authorization type "url-signing"
       or "url-token". The "url-signing" type refers to URL signing
      authorization. The "url-token" type refers to token-based
      authorization.

     O algorithm- a string containing the signature algorithm (e.g.
  "md5", "sha-1", etc.).

Internet-Draft          cap-info-advertising                March 2012



     O key type - a boolean if true, URL signing uses symmetric keys,
       otherwise asymmetric.

4.6. Delivery service capability

    Type of the delivery service a downstream CDN supports, e.g.
    Microsoft Smooth Streaming, Apple HTTP Live Streaming.  It contains
    the following attributes:

    O service type- a string containing the type of the delivery
    service e.g. "HLS"and "DASH".

5. Overview of the capability advertising protocol

5.1. Transport mechansim of the protocol

  CDN capability is information coupling with a specified application
  (CDNI), it should be conveyed via an application layer protocol
  rather than any other underlying layer protocol e.g. IP layer
  protocol which should de-coupling with any application. In this
  document HTTP/1.1 protocol [RFC2616] is used as the transport
  mechanism for capability information advertising as its a natural
  choice for integration with existing applications and infrastructure.

5.2. Operation mode of the protocol

  The capability information advertising protocol takes two modes. One
  is report mode, where the downstream CDN advertises its capability
  information to the upstream CDN during at a periodic interval, e.g.
  every 5 minutes. The other one is query mode, where the upstream CDN
  acquires  the  capability  information  from  the  downstream  CDN
  periodically, e.g. every 5 minutes. The upstream CDN utilizes the
  capability information to makes its routing decision upon receiving
  a content request from an end user.

Internet-Draft          cap-info-advertising                March 2012


5.3. Discovery of the protocol contact point

  To enable communication over the capability information advertising
  protocol, the two interconnected CDNs need to know each other's
  contact address. The contact address may be statically pre-
  configured, dynamically discovered via control interface, or other
  means. However, they are not specified in this document, as this is
  considered not in the scope of the CDNI capability information
  advertising protocol.

  The message body includes capability information.

  Upon successful receipt of the POST request, the Upstream CDN
  responds with a 200 OK message.


6.2.2. Query mode

  The Upstream CDN issues a HTTP GET message to a Downstream CDN to
  query its capability information.

  The message name in the request URI is "CdniCapQuery".

  Upon successful receipt of the GET request, the Downstream CDN
  responds a 200 OK message with its capability information.

  The Content-Type header field for the response is "application/json".


6.3. Message examples

  This section gives some message examples for capability information

  illustrated in section 6.3.1.


7. Security Considerations

  Capability advertising is a main function which will affect the
  final routing decision of an upstream CDN, security threats on it
  include that any identity spoofing of the downstream CDN or changing
  of the capability advertising message with malicious intent which
  would cause the upstream CDN redirect an end user request to an
  inappropriate downstream CDN which possible cannot provide service
  to the end user.

  It is mentioned in section 8 of the requirement draft [I-D.draft-
  cdni-requirements], all the CDNI interface shall support secure
  operation over unsecured IP connectivity (e.g. The Internet).  This
  includes authentication, confidentiality, integrity protection as
  well as protection against spoofing and replay. As this security
  requirement applies to all the CDNI interfaces and it is recommended
  that the working group addresses this issue and considers a
  consistent solution in another separate document later.

8. IANA Considerations

  If the approach described in this document is adopted, we would
  request that IANA allocate the message name "CdniCapReport" and
  CdniCapQuery" in the HTTP Parameters registry.
