Edge Storage
Overview
Since most of the video traffic in the internet is streamed from cache storage locations, and these caching locations vary between deep network caching and back bone caching, how does the ISP define what is the best storage topology to pursue? AR/VR streaming all requires different latency versus cloud DVR streaming or pre-position applications. What are the benefits and requirements of each of the following storage locations: local storage in the CPE or Storage at the Edge of the ISP network? In this subgroup, participating members are focused on helping ISPs solve this problem by establishing the optimal storage topology for each of the applications that the SVTA is working on and underlying technical and functional requirements of this storage.
Objectives
The Streaming Video Technology Alliance Edge Storage Subgroup has three objectives. First, to identify the various storage locations benefits and applications requirements (i.e. Storage for pre-positioning vs. storage for AR/VR streaming); second, to establish basic requirement guidelines for storage deployments for each of the applications identified; and third, to identify additions and modifications to open caching APIs for various storage locations and establish a standard API or communications protocol related to storage access.
Parent Group
As a sub-group, this group rolls up to the following working group. While this sub-group may have its own calls, it may also be represented as an agenda item in the parent group’s calls.
