ATIS, a technical planning and standards development organization, on Tuesday announced that its Cloud Services Forum (CSF) has released the CDN Interconnection Use Case Specification and High Level Requirements (ATIS-0200003) standard document.
The standard includes an initial description of content distribution networks, ATIS said, and develops interconnection use cases and high-level requirements to support passing content distribution requests between two service providers. ATIS also noted the standard enables content distribution network interconnection by providing for common interfaces between service providers’ operations systems, back office interfaces, routing equipment and network interconnections.
“The standard marks a major step forward in enabling seamless, global content delivery, especially for video, between service providers," ATIS President and CEO Susan Miller said in a statement. “What sets the CSF’s work apart is its focus on business needs as the driver for better interconnection. This ATIS technical solution for inter-provider content delivery helps providers meet critical customer service imperatives – namely, the need to improve end-user experience through cost effective video delivery."
