Subject: RE: Is CDI dead?
With ref to this extract from you rmail:
The reality of CDI is that we've gone from
having
"lots of CDN operators, many interested in interoperation" to having
"very
few CDN operators, all focused on survival". You can't make
progress on
standardization efforts when the stakeholders are unwilling or
unable to
participate.
I agree with you in toto.
I personally feel that the cost of CDN hardware like the
Content Engine or Switch is quite expensive for the times we are in now.
Not that we need Content Networking less , actually there is a
greater need for really fast access of high bandwidth consuming multimedia
converged content.
Solutions like Justin Chapweske's Tornado Web Raid CDN which is
essentially an intelligent peer to peer solution based on an intelligent
content gateway inside the corporate net, and intelligent "onion peers",
merits attention for a solution for today for fast access of content rich
media.
I refer you to :
for information and comments re Justin's solution.

I think it's important to distinguish a working group from
an interest
group.
No-one is saying that CDI is an uninteresting
topic. Many of us expect that
the subject will once again attract a
sufficient level of attention in the
future to warrant standardization
efforts. But the IETF does not charter
working groups based on "2 or 3"
people who want to comment on things. And
a working group that has
reached the point of being defended on the basis
that there might still
be a few people who want to talk about things is
basically not
functioning as a working group any more.
There are many interesting
things that are not standardized. (And there are
many things standardized
that are not very interesting!) It's important to
keep track of
what kind of group you're dealing with and what kind of work
is to be
done there. The reality of CDI is that we've gone from having
"lots
of CDN operators, many interested in interoperation" to having "very
few
CDN operators, all focused on survival". You can't make progress
on
standardization efforts when the stakeholders are unwilling or unable
to
participate.
