What Is The SVTA Configuration Interface?

The SVTA Configuration Interface is an extension of the CDNi interfaces to make a general programmatic interface applicable to a variety of use cases such as Open Caching Nodes and CDNs. This generalized interface is defined by a family of documents which specify the motivational drivers, use cases, and standards for a configuration interface to facilitate interoperability within the content delivery network (CDN) and open caching ecosystems. This document family presents a layered architecture that extends the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) CDN Interconnect (CDNi) metadata model and adds publishing layer Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to provide configuration management capabilities required by the CDN and open caching industries.

Open Caching Configuration Interface: Part 1 - Overview and Architecture

This is the first document of the Streaming Video Alliance Configuration Interface. The goal is to simplify the management of CDN and Open Caches for content providers by defining one configuration format and API to cover most use cases. By doing so, this will fill the gaps between systems focused on content distribution configuration interfaces as well as identify areas where the existing CDNi configuration API may be useful and where practical needs may dictate alternate solutions and formats.

Configuration Interface Part 2: CDNi Metadata Model Extensions

This is part two in a set of documents that specifies the motivational drivers, use cases, and standards for a configuration interface to facilitate interoperability within the content delivery network (CDN) and open caching ecosystem. This document presents the context and requirements for extending the Content Delivery Network Interconnection (CDNi) metadata model, as well as specific extensions that will fulfill those requirements.

This document will provide all the necessary information for an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) memo describing the Streaming Video Alliance (SVA) metadata interface requirements beyond those stated in RFC-7337 (Content Distribution Network Interconnection Requirements), along with requested extensions to RFC-8006 (Content Delivery Network Interconnection Metadata).

Open Caching Configuration Interface: Part 3 - Publishing Layer APIs

This is part three in a set of documents that specifies the motivations, use cases, and standards for a configuration interface to facilitate interoperability within the content delivery network (CDN) and open caching ecosystems. In this document, the requirements for a configuration publishing layer are presented, along with APIs that facilitate the publishing of CDNi metadata objects within the CDN and open caching ecosystems.

How The SVTA Configuration Interface Works

The diagram shown below places the various specifications, capabilities, APIs, and usage of those APIs, within the context of the open caching ecosystem, indicating the relationship between the SVA and IETF CDNi domains. Each specification documents the capabilities and/or extensions to other specifications, while each of the APIs define the specific service interfaces for those capabilities
