Document Description
The project targets a specification document allowing, on one hand any ISP that hosts a multicast video infrastructure to expose the service through the Open Caching API and on the other hand any content provider (or upstream CDN providers ) to beneficiate and operate the downstream multicast video service. The multicast video service can be completely hidden and abstracted by the Open Caching API. However this does not preclude working on how to map the multicast video infrastructure and service with the Open caching API. There is also an interest from both parties, i.e. the downstream ISP and the upstream content provider, to intentionally expose and operate respectively the multicast video service across the Open Caching API. A minimum set of features have already been provisioned in Open Caching allowing an ISP to announce multicast video support and a content provider to request and configure the video streaming delegation through the multicast video infrastructure. However this is very basic and a lot more features may be exposed across the Open Caching interface covering security, request routing, unicast/multicast synchronization, flow control, logging, etc.
