SVTA Updates Streaming Video Wiki with New Content and Features
The SVTA launched the Streaming Video Wiki, a wiki dedicated to just streaming video glossary terms and other content, in 2022. The wiki took the place of the previously launched Streaming Video Glossary by expanding the scope of content beyond just terms and definitions. The SVTA is excited to announce the addition of dozens of new entries and illustrations and welcomes anyone to register for an account and contribute to adding content, augmenting existing entries, and suggesting new articles. Registered users have the opportunity to comment on draft articles through a collaborative Google Docs-like interface.

Two New Technical Documents Published by the SVTA Open Caching Working Group
The Open Caching API Footprint and Capabilities document describes the Application Programming Interface (API) methods and data model related to the Footprint and Capabilities Interface. The API has been entirely designed by the SVTA Open Caching group, whereas the data model is based on the IETF Content Delivery Network Interconnection (CDNi) work and on extensions specified by the SVTA Open Caching group.

The Open Caching Working Group also recently published the Open Caching API Request Routing Interface document. The paper examines how content delivery delegation in open caching can be realized through two modes of request redirection — iterative and recursive. Open caching previously only supported the iterative mode. This document describes the data model and architecture changes required to enable the recursive mode of delegation as well.
