Open Caching Metadata Interface
What Is The Metadata Interface?
While the CDNi metadata interface was originally intended to provide downstream CDNs (dCDNs) with sufficient information to service content requests on behalf of upstream CDNs (uCDNs), the specification also provides an excellent starting point for configuration interchange use cases in the CDN industry and open caching ecosystem. In order to widen the context of the CDNi metadata model to cover more general CDN and open caching use cases, extensions are required to cover more complex configurations than those contemplated in the original CDNi metadata specification.
What Does The Metadata Interface Cover?
Other Open Caching Provisioning Interfaces
The Open Caching Provisioning Component has the following additional interfaces:
Open Caching Provisioning Specifications
Open Cache Request Routing Service Provisioning Interface Specification
This includes the functional specification of open-caching service provisioning interfaces enabling a CDN and an SP to exchange information to enable the delegation of CDN content requests to the SP
(DRAFT) Open Caching Capacity Interface
This document defines the specification for an API to retrieve capacity metrics from an Open Caching Node.
