Content Delivery Network Interconnection Request Routing: Footprint and Capabilities Semantics
RFC 8008, “Content Delivery Network Interconnection Request Routing: Footprint and Capabilities Semantics”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2016 by J. Seedorf, J. Peterson, S. Previdi, R. van Brandenburg, K. Ma. It has since been updated by RFC 9388. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document captures the semantics of the "Footprint and Capabilities Advertisement" part of the Content Delivery Network Interconnection (CDNI) Request Routing interface, i.e., the desired meaning of "Footprint" and "Capabilities" in the CDNI context and what the "Footprint & Capabilities Advertisement interface (FCI)" offers within CDNI. The document also provides guidelines for the CDNI FCI protocol. It further defines a Base Advertisement Object, the necessary registries for capabilities and footprints, and guidelines on how these registries can be extended in the future.
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.
