An architecture for on-demand service deployment over a telco CDN
Abstract
Internet Service Providers are becoming more involved in the audiovisual content delivery chain. One manifestation of this trend is the emergence of telco CDNs, i.e., content delivery networks operated by telecom service providers. In this work, we make the case for opening the telco CDN infrastructure to content providers by means of network function virtualization (NFV) and cloud technologies. We design and implement a CDN-as-a-Service architecture, where content providers can lease CDN resources on demand at regions where the ISP has presence. Using open northbound RESTful APIs, content providers can express performance requirements and demand specifications, which can be translated to an appropriate service placement on the underlying cloud substrate. To gain insight which can be applied to the design of such service placement mechanisms, we evaluate the capabilities of key enabling virtualization technologies by extensive testbed experiments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
