RFC 6770                     CDNI Use Cases                November 20121.  Introduction   Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are commonly used for improving the   End User experience of a content delivery service while keeping cost   at a reasonable level.  This document focuses on use cases that   correspond to identified industry needs and that are expected to be   realized once open interfaces and protocols supporting the   interconnection of CDNs are specified and implemented.  The document   can be used to motivate the definition of the requirements (as   documented in [CDNI-REQ]) to be supported by the set of CDN   Interconnection (CDNI) interfaces defined in [RFC6707].   [RFC3570] describes slightly different terminologies and models for   "Content Internetworking (CDI)".  This document obsoletesRFC 3570 to   avoid confusion.   This document identifies the main motivations for a CDN Provider to   interconnect its CDN:   o  CDN Footprint Extension Use Cases (Section 2)   o  CDN Offload Use Cases (Section 3)   o  CDN Capability Use Cases (Section 4)   Then, the document highlights the need for interoperability in order   to exchange and enforce content delivery policies (Section 5).1.1.  Terminology   In this document, the first letter of each CDNI-specific term is   capitalized.  We adopt the terminology described in [RFC6707].   We extend this terminology with the following term:   Access CDN:   A CDN that includes Surrogates in the same administrative network as   the End User.  Such a CDN can use accurate information on the End   User's network context to provide additional Content Delivery   Services to Content Service Providers.1.2.

RFC 6770                     CDNI Use Cases                November 2012   o  dCDN: downstream CDN   o  DNS: Domain Name System   o  EU: End User   o  ISP: Internet Service Provider   o  NSP: Network Service Provider   o  QoE: Quality of Experience   o  QoS: Quality of Service   o  uCDN: upstream CDN   o  URL: Uniform Resource Locator   o  WiFi: Wireless local area network (WLAN) based on IEEE 802.111.3.  Rationale for CDN Interconnection   Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are used to deliver content because   they can:   o  improve the experience for the End User; for instance delivery has      lower latency (decreased round-trip-time and higher throughput      between the user and the delivery server) and better robustness      (ability to use multiple delivery servers),   o  reduce the network operator's costs; for instance, lower delivery      cost (reduced bandwidth usage) for cacheable content,   o  reduce the Content Service Provider's (CSP) internal      infrastructure costs, such as data center capacity, space, and      electricity consumption, as popular content is delivered      externally through the CDN rather than through the CSP's own      servers.   Indeed, many Network Service Providers (NSPs) and Enterprise Service   Providers are deploying or have deployed their own CDNs.  Despite the   potential benefits of interconnecting CDNs, today each CDN is a   stand-alone network.  The objective of CDN Interconnection is to   overcome this restriction; the interconnected CDNs should be able to   collectively behave as a single delivery infrastructure.   An example is depicted in Figure 1, where two CDN Providers establish   a CDN Interconnection.  The Content Service Provider CSP-1 reaches anBertrand, et al.

RFC 6770                     CDNI Use Cases                November 2012   agreement with CDN Provider 'A' for the delivery of its content.   Independently, CDN Provider 'A' and CDN Provider 'B' agree to   interconnect their CDNs.   When a given User Agent requests content from CSP-1, CDN-A may   consider that delivery by CDN-B is appropriate, for instance, because   CDN-B is an Access CDN and the user is directly attached to it.   Through the CDN Interconnection arrangements put in place between   CDN-A and CDN-B (as a result of the CDN Interconnection agreement   established between CDN Provider 'A' and CDN Provider 'B'), CDN-A can   redirect the request to CDN-B and the content is actually delivered   to the User Agent by CDN-B.   The End User benefits from this arrangement through a better Quality   of Experience (QoE, see [RFC6390]), because the content is delivered   from a nearby Surrogate (e.g., lower latency, bottlenecks avoided).   CDN Provider 'A' benefits because it does not need to deploy such an   extensive CDN, while CDN Provider 'B' may receive some compensation   for the delivery.  CSP-1 benefits because it only needs to make one   business agreement and one technical arrangement with CDN Provider   'A', but its End Users get a service quality as though CSP-1 had also   gone to the trouble of making a business agreement and technical   arrangement with CDN Provider 'B'.    +-------+ +-------+    | CSP-1 | | CSP-2 |    +-------+ +-------+        |         |       ,--,--,--./            ,--,--,--.    ,-'          `-.       ,-'          `-.

However, CSP-2 may   not want its content to be distributed by CDN Provider B; for   example, CSP-2 may not want to distribute its content in the area   where CDN Provider 'B' operates.  This example illustrates that   policy considerations are an important part of CDNI.Bertrand, et al.              Informational                     [Page 5]

RFC 6770                     CDNI Use Cases                November 20122.  Footprint Extension Use Cases   Footprint extension is expected to be a major use case for CDN   Interconnection.2.1.  Geographic Extension   In this use case, the CDN Provider wants to extend the geographic   distribution that it can offer to its CSPs:   o  without compromising the quality of delivery.   o  without incurring additional transit and other network costs that      would result from serving content from geographically or      topologically remote Surrogates.   o  without incurring the cost of deploying and operating Surrogates      and the associated CDN infrastructure that may not be justified in      the corresponding geographic region (e.g., because of relatively      low delivery volume, or conversely because of the high investments      that would be needed to satisfy the high volume).   If there are several CDN Providers that have a geographically limited   footprint (e.g., restricted to one country), or do not serve all End   Users in a geographic area, then interconnecting their CDNs enables   these CDN Providers to provide their services beyond their own   footprint.   As an example, suppose a French CSP wants to distribute its TV   programs to End Users located in France and various countries in   North Africa.  It asks a French CDN Provider to deliver the content.   The French CDN Provider's network only covers France, so it makes an   agreement with another CDN Provider that covers North Africa.   Overall, from the CSP's perspective, the French CDN Provider provides   a CDN service for both France and North Africa.   In addition to video, this use case applies to other types of content   such as automatic software updates (browser updates, operating system   patches, virus database update, etc.).2.2.  Inter-Affiliates Interconnection   The previous section describes the case of geographic extension   between CDNs operated by different entities.  A large CDN Provider   may have several subsidiaries that each operate their own CDN (which   may rely on different CDN technologies, seeSection 4.2).  In certainBertrand, et al.

ISP Handling of Third-Party Content   Consider an ISP carrying to its subscribers a lot of content that   comes from a third-party CSP and that is injected into the ISP's   network by an Authoritative CDN Provider.  There are mutual benefits   to the ISP (acting as an Access CDN), the Authoritative CDN, and the   CSP that would make a case for establishing a CDNI agreement.  For   example:   o  allowing the CSP to offer improved QoE and QoE services to      subscribers, for example, reduced content startup time or      increased video quality and resolution of adaptive streaming      content.   o  allowing the Authoritative CDN to reduce hardware capacity and      footprint, by using the ISP caching and delivery capacity.   o  allowing the ISP to reduce traffic load on some segments of the      network by caching inside of the ISP network.   o  allowing the ISP to influence and/or control the traffic ingress      points.   o  allowing the ISP to derive some incremental revenue for transport      of the traffic and to monetize QoE services.2.4.  Nomadic Users   In this scenario, a CSP wishes to allow End Users who move between   access networks to continue to access their content.  The motivation   of this case is to allow nomadic End Users to maintain access to   content with a consistent QoE across a range of devices and/or   geographic regions.   This use case covers situations like:   o  End Users moving between different access networks, which may be      located within the same geographic region or different geographic      regions.   o  End Users switching between different devices or delivery      technologies, as discussed inSection 4.Bertrand, et al.

RFC 6770                     CDNI Use Cases                November 2012   Consider the following example, illustrated in Figure 2: End User A   has a subscription to a broadband service from ISP A, her "home ISP".   ISP A hosts CDN-A.  Ordinarily, when End User A accesses content via   ISP A (her "home ISP"), the content is delivered from CDN-A, which in   this example is within ISP A's network.   However, while End User A is not connected to ISP A's network, for   example, because it is connected to a WiFi provider or mobile   network, End User A can also access the same content.  In this case,   End User A may benefit from accessing the same content delivered by   an alternate CDN (CDN-B), in this case, hosted in the network of the   WiFi or mobile provider (ISP B), rather than from CDN-A in ISP A's   network.       +-------+       |Content|       +-------+           |       ,--,--,--.             ,--,--,--.    ,-'  ISP A   `-.       ,-'  ISP B   `-.

Depending on the CSP's content delivery policies (seeAppendix A.1),   a user moving to a different geographic region may be subject to geo-   blocking content delivery restrictions.  In this case, he/she may not   be allowed to access some pieces of content.3.  Offload Use Cases3.1.  Overload Handling and Dimensioning   A CDN is likely to be dimensioned to support an expected maximum   traffic load.  However, unexpected spikes in content popularity   (flash crowd) may drive load beyond the expected peak.  The prime   recurrent time peaks of content distribution may differ between twoBertrand, et al.              Informational                     [Page 8]

RFC 6770                     CDNI Use Cases                November 2012   CDNs.  Taking advantage of the different traffic peak times, a CDN   may interconnect with another CDN to increase its effective capacity   during the peak of traffic.  This brings dimensioning savings to the   CDNs, as they can use each other's resources during their respective   peaks of activity.   Offload also applies to planned situations in which a CDN Provider   needs CDN capacity in a particular region during a short period of   time.  For example, a CDN can offload traffic to another CDN for the   duration of a specific maintenance operation or for the distribution   of a special event, as in the scenario depicted in Figure 3.  For   instance, consider a TV channel that is the distributor for a major   event, such as a celebrity's wedding or a major sport competition,   and this TV channel has contracted particular CDNs for the delivery.   The CDNs (CDN-A and CDN-B) that the TV channel uses for delivering   the content related to this event are likely to experience a flash   crowd during the event and will need to offload traffic, while other   CDNs (CDN-C) will support a more typical traffic load and be able to   handle the offloaded traffic.   In this use case, the Delivering CDN on which requests are offloaded   should be able to handle the offloaded requests.  Therefore, the uCDN   might require information on the dCDNs to be aware of the amount of   traffic it can offload to each dCDN.     +------------+     | TV Channel |     +------------+         |         \      ,-,--,-.      \ ,-,--,-.        ,-,--,-.    ,'        `.    ,'        `.    ,' CDN-C  `.

Resiliency3.2.1.  Failure of Content Delivery Resources   It is important for CDNs to be able to guarantee service continuity   during partial failures (e.g., failure of some Surrogates).  In   partial failure scenarios, a CDN Provider has at least three options:Bertrand, et al.              Informational                     [Page 9]

RFC 6770                     CDNI Use Cases                November 2012   1.  if possible, use internal mechanisms to redirect traffic onto       surviving equipment,   2.  depending on traffic management policies, forward some requests       to the CSP's origin servers, and/or   3.  redirect some requests toward another CDN, which must be able to       serve the redirected requests.   The last option is a use case for CDNI.3.2.2.  Content Acquisition Resiliency   Source content acquisition may be handled in one of two ways:   o  CSP origin, where a CDN acquires content directly from the CSP's      origin server, or   o  CDN origin, where a downstream CDN acquires content from a      Surrogate within an upstream CDN.   The ability to support content acquisition resiliency is an important   use case for interconnected CDNs.  When the content acquisition   source fails, the CDN might switch to another content acquisition   source.  Similarly, when several content acquisition sources are   available, a CDN might balance the load between these multiple   sources.   Though other server and/or DNS load-balancing techniques may be   employed in the network, interconnected CDNs may have a better   understanding of origin-server availability, and be better equipped   to both distribute load between origin servers and attempt content   acquisition from alternate content sources when acquisition failures   occur.  When normal content acquisition fails, a CDN may need to try   other content source options, for example:   o  an upstream CDN may acquire content from an alternate CSP origin      server,   o  a downstream CDN may acquire content from an alternate Surrogate      within an upstream CDN,   o  a downstream CDN may acquire content from an alternate upstream      CDN, or   o  a downstream CDN may acquire content directly from the CSP's      origin server.Bertrand, et al.

RFC 6770                     CDNI Use Cases                November 2012   Though content acquisition protocols are beyond the scope of CDNI,   the selection of content acquisition sources should be considered and   facilitated.4.  Capability Use Cases4.1.  Device and Network Technology Extension   In this use case, the CDN Provider may have the right geographic   footprint, but may wish to extend the supported range of devices and   User Agents or the supported range of delivery technologies.  In this   case, a CDN Provider may interconnect with a CDN that offers services   that:   o  the CDN Provider is not willing to provide, or   o  its own CDN is not able to support.   The following examples illustrate this use case:   1.  CDN-A cannot support a specific delivery protocol.  For instance,       CDN-A may interconnect with CDN-B to serve a proportion of its       traffic that requires HTTPS [RFC2818].  CDN-A may use CDN-B's       footprint (which may overlap with its own) to deliver HTTPS       without needing to deploy its own infrastructure.  This case       could also be true of other formats, delivery protocols (e.g.,       the Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP), the Real Time Streaming       Protocol (RTSP), etc.), and features (specific forms of       authorization such as tokens, per session encryption, etc.).   2.  CDN-A has a footprint covering traditional fixed-line broadband       and wants to extend coverage to mobile devices.  In this case,       CDN-A may contract and interconnect with CDN-B, who has both:       *  a physical footprint inside the mobile network,       *  the ability to deliver content over a protocol that is          required by specific mobile devices.   3.  CDN-A only supports IPv4 within its infrastructure but wants to       deliver content over IPv6.  CDN-B supports both IPv4 and IPv6       within its infrastructure.  CDN-A interconnects with CDN-B to       serve out its content over native IPv6 connections.   These cases can apply to many CDN features that a given CDN Provider   may not be able to support or not be willing to invest in, and thus,   that the CDN Provider would delegate to another CDN.Bertrand, et al.

RFC 6770                     CDNI Use Cases                November 20124.2.  Technology and Vendor Interoperability   A CDN Provider may deploy a new CDN to run alongside its existing CDN   as a simple way of migrating its CDN service to a new technology.  In   addition, a CDN Provider may have a multi-vendor strategy for its CDN   deployment.  Finally, a CDN Provider may want to deploy a separate   CDN for a particular CSP or a specific network.  In all these   circumstances, CDNI benefits the CDN Provider, as it simplifies or   automates some inter-CDN operations (e.g., migrating the request   routing function progressively).4.3.  QoE and QoS Improvement   Some CSPs are willing to pay a premium for enhanced delivery of   content to their End Users.  In some cases, even if the CDN Provider   could deliver the content to the End Users, it would not meet the   CSP's service-level requirements.  As a result, the CDN Provider may   establish a CDN Interconnection agreement with another CDN Provider   that can provide the expected QoE to the End User, e.g., via an   Access CDN that is able to deliver content from Surrogates located   closer to the End User and with the required service level.5.  Enforcement of Content Delivery Policy   An important aspect common to all the above use cases is that CSPs   typically want to enforce content delivery policies.  A CSP may want   to define content delivery policies that specify when, how, and/or to   whom the CDN delivers content.  These policies apply to all   interconnected CDNs (uCDNs and dCDNs) in the same or similar way that   a CSP can define content delivery policies for content delivered by a   single, non-interconnected CDN.Appendix A provides examples of CSP-   defined policies.6.

RFC 6770                     CDNI Use Cases                November 2012Appendix A.  Content Service Providers' Delivery Policies   CSPs commonly apply different delivery policies to given sets of   content assets delivered through CDNs.  Interconnected CDNs need to   support these policies.  This appendix presents examples of CSPs'   delivery policies and their consequences on CDNI operations.A.1.  Content Delivery Policy Enforcement   The content distribution policies that a CSP attaches to a content   asset may depend on many criteria.  For instance, distribution   policies for audiovisual content often combine constraints of varying   levels of complexity and sophistication, for example:   o  temporal constraints (e.g., available for 24 hours, available 28      days after DVD release, etc.),   o  user agent platform constraints (e.g., mobile device platforms,      desktop computer platforms, set-top-box platforms, etc.),   o  resolution-based constraints (e.g., high definition vs. standard      definition encodings),   o  user agent identification or authorization,   o  access network constraints (e.g., per NSP), and   o  IP geo-blocking constraints (e.g., for a given coverage area).   CSPs may use sophisticated policies in accordance with their business   model.  However, the enforcement of those policies does not   necessarily require that the delivery network understand the policy   rationales or how policies apply to specific content assets.  Content   delivery policies may be distilled into simple rules that can be   commonly enforced across all dCDNs.  These rules may influence dCDN   delegation and Surrogate selection decisions, for instance, to ensure   that the specific rules (e.g., time-window, geo-blocking, pre-   authorization validation) can indeed be enforced by the Delivering   CDN.  In turn, this can guarantee to the CSP that content delivery   policies are properly applied.Bertrand, et al.              Informational                    [Page 14]

Secure Access   Many protocols exist for delivering content to End Users.  CSPs may   dictate a specific protocol or set of protocols that are acceptable   for delivery of their content, especially in the case where a secured   content transmission is required (e.g., must use HTTPS).  CSPs may   also perform a per-request authentication/authorization decision and   then have the CDNs enforce that decision (e.g., must validate URL   signing, etc.).A.3.  Branding   Preserving the branding of the CSP throughout delivery is often   important to the CSP.  CSPs may desire to offer content services   under their own name, even when the associated CDN service involves   other CDN Providers.  For instance, a CSP may desire to ensure that   content is delivered with URIs appearing to the End Users under the   CSP's own domain name, even when the content delivery involves   separate CDN Providers.  The CSP may wish to prevent the delivery of   its content by specific dCDNs that lack support for such branding   preservation features.   Analogous cases exist when the uCDN wants to offer CDN services under   its own branding even if dCDNs are involved, and so it restricts the   delivery delegation to a chain that preserves its brand visibility.Bertrand, et al.
