Content Delivery Network Interconnection Metadata
RFC 8006, “Content Delivery Network Interconnection Metadata”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2016 by B. Niven-Jenkins, R. Murray, M. Caulfield, K. Ma. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Content Delivery Network Interconnection (CDNI) Metadata interface enables interconnected Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to exchange content distribution metadata in order to enable content acquisition and delivery. The CDNI Metadata associated with a piece of content provides a downstream CDN with sufficient information for the downstream CDN to service content requests on behalf of an upstream CDN. This document describes both a base set of CDNI Metadata and the protocol for exchanging that metadata.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
