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.

SVTA2026: Home Storage Functional Specification

This document addresses use cases and functional requirements for the home storage open caching architecture. The Home Storage Open Caching Node (HS-OCN) is a new component of the open caching system and addresses in-home use cases for the improvement of content delivery. This document describes the architectural guidelines and functional specifications of an HS-OCN.
