Content Delivery Network Interconnection Footprint and Capabilities Advertisement Using Application-Layer Traffic Optimization

Overview

RFC 9241, “Content Delivery Network Interconnection Footprint and Capabilities Advertisement Using Application-Layer Traffic Optimization”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2022 by J. Seedorf, Y. Yang, K. Ma, J. Peterson, J. Zhang. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The Content Delivery Networks Interconnection (CDNI) framework in RFC 6707 defines a set of protocols to interconnect CDNs to achieve multiple goals, including extending the reach of a given CDN. A CDNI Request Routing Footprint & Capabilities Advertisement interface (FCI) is needed to achieve the goals of a CDNI. RFC 8008 defines the FCI semantics and provides guidelines on the FCI protocol, but the exact protocol is not specified. This document defines a new Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) service, called "CDNI Advertisement Service", that provides an implementation of the FCI, following the guidelines defined in RFC 8008.
