Three newly released documents
Open Cache Capacity Insight Interface and Log Specifications
Two new Open Caching documents, SVTA2049: Capacity Insights Interface and SVTA2050: Logging Specifications, continue building the suite of technical documentation that defines the operation and implementation of the Open Caching network.
of Capacity Insights This document describes an interface that allows Content Providers (CPs), Service Providers (SPs) and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to exchange information to facilitate an end-to-end traffic steering workflow based on integrated information. The goal is to enable real-time traffic steering based on available capacity and keep Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) at acceptable levels.
of Log Specifications Learn about the Open Caching Configuration API and extensions to the Content Delivery Networks Interconnection (CDNI) Footprint & Capabilities Interface. [RFC8008] Supports configuration and advertising of logging capabilities, as well as examples and best practices for supporting logging, log record transformation, and transport between participants in an Open Caching environment.
A survey on measuring streaming latency
SVTA1058: A Study on Measuring Streaming Latency, by the Low Latency Streaming Working Group, focusing on the main technical factors that affect latency. [SVTA5021]Let’s take a closer look at the different options available for measuring latency at each component in the video delivery chain, including the playback device.
New microsite supporting the SVTA Common Media Library project
The goal of the SVTA Common Media Library (CML) project is to consolidate common media player functionality into a single library that can be used by all JS media players. Similar to the Open Caching microsite, the new microsite aims to support the project by describing planned and implemented features, providing resources for those interested in getting involved, getting current details in the public Github repository, and details of upcoming events where SVTA members may be speaking about CML.
