Client-Side Multi-CDN Switching

Multi-CDN delivery has become commonplace in scalable streaming video architectures but switching to a different CDN in real time to improve QoE is not easy. There are many server-side and client-side solutions available to streaming operators but is little consensus on the best way to accomplish it. This project proposes a client-side solution to this problem.

Configuration Interface API

The project has focused on gathering and analyzing use cases and requirements from each of the types of participants in CDN and Open Caching Configuration Management. The effort has focused on extending the IETF CDNi metadata model to cover real-world use cases in the CDN and Open Caching ecosystem, as well as defining a simple API for basic configuration publishing and an advanced API that addresses the full life cycle of CDN configuration management (versioning, promotion across environments, configuration sharing, etc.).
