SVTA2028-1: Configuration Interface Part 1: Overview and Architecture

This is the first part in a set of documents that specify the Streaming Video Technology Alliance (SVTA) Configuration Interface, defining both the metadata model and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for entities to publish and retrieve configuration metadata. This document specifies the motivational drivers, use cases, and standards to facilitate interoperability within the content delivery network (CDN) and Open Caching ecosystems. The full document set presents a layered architecture that extends the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) CDN Interconnect (CDNI) Metadata and Capabilities Models and adds publishing APIs to provide configuration management capabilities required by the CDN and Open Caching industries.
