Re: [GGIE] DRAFT bof proposal for IETF 98 in Chicago

["Deen, Glenn (NBCUniversal)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Ben - 

I see now that the original mail included the list, so consider that ask fulfilled! 

Thanks for doing it before I asked.

>>> Description:
>>> 
>>> Video is without rival the top use of Internet bandwidth, and its ever growing demand for more bandwidth easily out paces the new capacity being added both globally and regionally with no let up in sight.   Users are frustrated by quality, buffering, and stuttering problems. Video providers and access networks are investing heavily to keep up with demand.  Significant work has be done at the application layer producing more efficient codecs and innovative adaptive bitrate transports like MPEG-DASH.  These access investments and application layer work have helped but they alone have not been enough.
>>> 
>>> This BoF will introduce the Glass to Glass Internet Ecosystem (GGIE) which focuses on network level innovations to compliment the efforts at the application layer and access networks.  The proposed GGIE work includes enabling adaptive bitrate transports like MPEG-DASH to use IPv6 as their video segment addressing scheme which in turn permits use of advanced IPv6 network features such as Segment Routing.  A GGIE goal is to enabling video and network routing and management to work more cooperatively and efficiently to transport video, and to do so in a backward compatible ways to permit exiting devices and players to take advantage of the improved network efficiencies.

>>> Due to its size and sensitivity to network conditions, the transport of video over the Internet has highlighted a significant scalability problem for the Internet.  Addressing this scalability problem requires better integration between application transport and networking technologies and leveraging IPv6.  The GGIE working group will define a set of fundamental building blocks bridging video application use of the network and core network services of addressing, routing, and naming. Through standardization, of such fundamentals, a common base platform for new interoperable innovation on video transport efficiency and scalability will be enabled.
>>> 
>>> The scalability problem is driven by both professional and user generated content, fortunately both types of content use the same transport technologies which permits the working group’s output to apply equally to them. Likewise, in addition to the use the network to transport video for viewing, the network is extensively used in video creation workflows of capture and editing, and distribution workflows of encoding, packaging, and distribution to edge caches for playback.   The working group will address both viewing and creation/distribution workflows.
>>> 
>>> To that end, the GGIE working group will define missing pieces of Internet technology standards, as well as provide pointers to use of existing standards.
>>> 
>>> Specifically, the GGIE working group will:
>>> 
>>> + complete an overview document outlining the GGIE problem statement and general solution approach
>>> + develop a set of use cases representative of GGIE problem scope
>>> + develop a standardized URI for referring to specific media objects within a domain
>>> + develop a standardized means for mapping IPv6 addresses to video data
>>> + develop a media address resolution service protocol (MARS) to map URIs and addresses for video
>>> + provide a mechanism for discovering media address resolution services
>>> + document integration methods with lower level fundamental network services (eg. routing)
>>> + develop media encoding network (MEN) definitions for video packaging such as MPEG-DASH
>>> + illustrate how these technologies address the use cases already developed for GGIE
>>> 
>>> Out of scope are:  video technologies including codecs, digital rights management, and DRM enforcement technologies.
