Content Delivery Network Interconnection (CDNI)
Control Interface / Triggers
 Abstract
This document describes the part of the Content Delivery Network
Interconnection (CDNI) Control interface that allows a CDN to trigger
activity in an interconnected CDN that is configured to deliver
content on its behalf. The upstream CDN can use this mechanism to
request that the downstream CDN pre-position metadata or content or
to request that it invalidate or purge metadata or content. The
upstream CDN can monitor the status of activity that it has triggered
in the downstream CDN.

1. Introduction
[RFC 6707] introduces the problem scope for Content Delivery Network
Interconnection (CDNI) and lists the four categories of interfaces
that may be used to compose a CDNI solution (Control, Metadata,
Request Routing, and Logging).
[RFC 7336] expands on the information provided in [RFC 6707] and
describes each of the interfaces and the relationships between them
in more detail.
This document describes the "CI/T" interface -- "CDNI Control
interface / Triggers". It does not consider those parts of the
Control interface that relate to configuration, bootstrapping, or
authentication of CDN Interconnect interfaces. Section 4 of
[RFC 7337] identifies the requirements specific to the CI/T interface;
requirements applicable to the CI/T interface are CI-1 to CI-6.
o Section 2 outlines the model for the CI/T interface at a high
level.
o Section 3 describes collections of Trigger Status Resources.
o Section 4 defines the web service provided by the downstream CDN.
o Section 5 lists properties of CI/T Commands and Status Resources.
o Section 6 contains example messages.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 3
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
1.1. Terminology
This document reuses the terminology defined in [RFC 6707] and uses
"uCDN" and "dCDN" as shorthand for "upstream CDN" and "downstream
CDN", respectively.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC 2119].
2. Model for CDNI Triggers
A CI/T Command, sent from the uCDN to the dCDN, is a request for the
dCDN to do some work relating to data associated with content
requests originating from the uCDN.
There are two types of CI/T Commands: CI/T Trigger Commands and CI/T
Cancel Commands. The CI/T Cancel Command can be used to request
cancellation of an earlier CI/T Trigger Command. A CI/T Trigger
Command is of one of the following types:
o preposition - used to instruct the dCDN to fetch metadata from the
uCDN, or content from any origin including the uCDN.
o invalidate - used to instruct the dCDN to revalidate specific
metadata or content before reusing it.
o purge - used to instruct the dCDN to delete specific metadata or
content.
The CI/T interface is a web service offered by the dCDN. It allows
CI/T Commands to be issued and allows triggered activity to be
tracked. The CI/T interface builds on top of HTTP/1.1 [RFC 7230].
References to URL in this document relate to HTTP/HTTPS URIs, as
defined in Section 2.7 of [RFC 7230].
When the dCDN accepts a CI/T Command, it creates a resource
describing the status of the triggered activity -- a Trigger Status
Resource. The uCDN can poll Trigger Status Resources to monitor
progress.
The dCDN maintains at least one collection of Trigger Status
Resources for each uCDN. Each uCDN only has access to its own
collections, the locations of which are shared when CDNI is
established.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 4
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
To trigger activity in the dCDN, the uCDN POSTs a CI/T Command to the
collection of Trigger Status Resources. If the dCDN accepts the CI/T
Command, it creates a new Trigger Status Resource and returns its
location to the uCDN. To monitor progress, the uCDN can GET the
Trigger Status Resource. To request cancellation of a CI/T Trigger
Command, the uCDN can POST to the collection of Trigger Status
Resources or simply delete the Trigger Status Resource.
In addition to the collection of all Trigger Status Resources for the
uCDN, the dCDN can maintain filtered views of that collection. These
filtered views are defined in Section 3 and include collections of
Trigger Status Resources corresponding to active and completed CI/T
Trigger Commands. These collections provide a mechanism for polling
the status of multiple jobs.
Figure 1 is an example showing the basic message flow used by the
uCDN to trigger activity in the dCDN and for the uCDN to discover the
status of that activity. Only successful triggering is shown.
Examples of the messages are given in Section 6.

Figure 1: Basic CDNI Message Flow for Triggers
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 5
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
The steps in Figure 1 are as follows:
1. The uCDN triggers action in the dCDN by POSTing a CI/T Command to
a collection of Trigger Status Resources --
"https://dcdn.example.com/triggers/uCDN". This URL was given to
the uCDN when the CI/T interface was established.
2. The dCDN authenticates the request, validates the CI/T Command,
and, if it accepts the request, creates a new Trigger Status
Resource.
3. The dCDN responds to the uCDN with an HTTP 201 response status
and the location of the Trigger Status Resource.
4. The uCDN can poll, possibly repeatedly, the Trigger Status
Resource in the dCDN.
5. The dCDN responds with the Trigger Status Resource, describing
the progress or results of the CI/T Trigger Command.
The remainder of this document describes the messages, Trigger Status
Resources, and collections of Trigger Status Resources in more
detail.
2.1. Timing of Triggered Activity
Timing of the execution of CI/T Commands is under the dCDN's control,
including its start time and pacing of the activity in the network.
CI/T "invalidate" and "purge" commands MUST be applied to all data
acquired before the command was accepted by the dCDN. The dCDN
SHOULD NOT apply CI/T "invalidate" and "purge" commands to data
acquired after the CI/T Command was accepted, but this may not always
be achievable, so the uCDN cannot count on that.
If the uCDN wishes to invalidate or purge content and then
immediately pre-position replacement content at the same URLs, it
SHOULD ensure that the dCDN has completed the invalidate/purge before
initiating the pre-positioning. Otherwise, there is a risk that the
dCDN pre-positions the new content, then immediately invalidates or
purges it (as a result of the two uCDN requests running in parallel).
Because the CI/T Command timing is under the dCDN's control, the dCDN
implementation can choose whether to apply CI/T "invalidate" and
"purge" commands to content acquisition that has already started when
the command is received.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 6
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
2.2. Scope of Triggered Activity
Each CI/T Command can operate on multiple metadata and content URLs.
Multiple representations of an HTTP resource may share the same URL.
CI/T Trigger Commands that invalidate or purge metadata or content
apply to all resource representations with matching URLs.
2.2.1. Multiple Interconnected CDNs
In a network of interconnected CDNs, a single uCDN will originate a
given item of metadata and associated content. It may distribute
that metadata and content to more than one dCDN, which may in turn
distribute that metadata and content to CDNs located further
downstream.
An intermediate CDN is a dCDN that passes on CDNI Metadata and
content to dCDNs located further downstream.
A "diamond" configuration is one where a dCDN can acquire metadata
and content originated in one uCDN from that uCDN itself and an
intermediate CDN, or via more than one intermediate CDN.
CI/T Commands originating in the single source uCDN affect metadata
and content in all dCDNs; however, in a diamond configuration, it may
not be possible for the dCDN to determine which uCDN it acquired
content from. In this case, a dCDN MUST allow each uCDN from which
it may have acquired the content to act upon that content using CI/T
Commands.
In all other cases, a dCDN MUST reject CI/T Commands from a uCDN that
attempts to act on another uCDN's content by using, for example,
HTTP 403 ("Forbidden").
Security considerations are discussed further in Section 8.
The diamond configuration may lead to inefficient interactions, but
the interactions are otherwise harmless. For example:
o When the uCDN issues an "invalidate" CI/T Command, a dCDN will
receive that command from multiple directly connected uCDNs. The
dCDN may schedule multiple such commands separately, and the last
scheduled command may affect content already revalidated following
execution of the "invalidate" command that was scheduled first.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 7
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
o If one of a dCDN's directly connected uCDNs loses its rights to
distribute content, it may issue a CI/T "purge" command. That
purge may affect content the dCDN could retain because it's
distributed by another directly connected uCDN. But, that content
can be reacquired by the dCDN from the remaining uCDN.
o When the uCDN originating an item of content issues a CI/T purge
followed by a pre-position, two directly connected uCDNs will pass
those commands to a dCDN. That dCDN implementation need not merge
those operations or notice the repetition, in which case the purge
issued by one uCDN will complete before the other. The first uCDN
to finish its purge may then forward the "preposition" trigger,
and content pre-positioned as a result might be affected by the
still-running purge issued by the other uCDN. However, the dCDN
will reacquire that content as needed, or when it's asked to
pre-position the content by the second uCDN. A dCDN
implementation could avoid this interaction by knowing which uCDN
it acquired the content from, or it could minimize the
consequences by recording the time at which the
"invalidate"/"purge" command was received and not applying it to
content acquired after that time.
2.3. Trigger Results
Possible states for a Trigger Status Resource are defined in
Section 5.2.3.
The CI/T Trigger Command MUST NOT be reported as "complete" until all
actions have been completed successfully. The reasons for failure,
and URLs or patterns affected, SHOULD be enumerated in the Trigger
Status Resource. For more details, see Section 4.7.
If a dCDN is also acting as a uCDN in a cascade, it MUST forward CI/T
Commands to any dCDNs that may be affected. The CI/T Trigger Command
MUST NOT be reported as "complete" in a CDN until it is "complete" in
all of its dCDNs. If a CI/T Trigger Command is reported as
"processed" in any dCDN, intermediate CDNs MUST NOT report
"complete"; instead, they MUST also report "processed". A CI/T
Command MAY be reported as "failed" as soon as it fails in a CDN or
in any of its dCDNs. A canceled CI/T Trigger Command MUST be
reported as "cancelling" until it has been reported as "cancelled",
"complete", or "failed" by all dCDNs in a cascade.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 8
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
3. Collections of Trigger Status Resources
As described in Section 2, Trigger Status Resources exist in the dCDN
to report the status of activity triggered by each uCDN.
A collection of Trigger Status Resources is a resource that contains
a reference to each Trigger Status Resource in that collection.
The dCDN MUST make a collection of a uCDN's Trigger Status Resources
available to that uCDN. This collection includes all of the Trigger
Status Resources created for CI/T Commands from the uCDN that have
been accepted by the dCDN, and have not yet been deleted by the uCDN,
or expired and removed by the dCDN (as described in Section 4.4).
Trigger Status Resources belonging to a uCDN MUST NOT be visible to
any other CDN. The dCDN could, for example, achieve this by offering
different collection URLs to each uCDN and by filtering the response
based on the uCDN with which the HTTP client is associated.
To trigger activity in a dCDN or to cancel triggered activity, the
uCDN POSTs a CI/T Command to the dCDN's collection of the uCDN's
Trigger Status Resources.
In order to allow the uCDN to check the status of multiple jobs in a
single request, the dCDN MAY also maintain collections representing
filtered views of the collection of all Trigger Status Resources.
These filtered collections are "optional-to-implement", but if they
are implemented, the dCDN MUST include links to them in the
collection of all Trigger Status Resources. The filtered
collections are:
o Pending - Trigger Status Resources for CI/T Trigger Commands that
have been accepted but not yet acted upon.
o Active - Trigger Status Resources for CI/T Trigger Commands that
are currently being processed in the dCDN.
o Complete - Trigger Status Resources representing activity that
completed successfully, and "processed" CI/T Trigger Commands for
which no further status updates will be made by the dCDN.
o Failed - Trigger Status Resources representing CI/T Commands that
failed or were canceled by the uCDN.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 9
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
4. CDNI Trigger Interface
This section describes an interface to enable a uCDN to trigger
activity in a dCDN.
The CI/T interface builds on top of HTTP, so dCDNs may make use of
any HTTP feature when implementing the CI/T interface. For example,
a dCDN SHOULD make use of HTTP's caching mechanisms to indicate that
a requested response/representation has not been modified, reducing
the uCDN's processing needed to determine whether the status of
triggered activity has changed.
All dCDNs implementing CI/T MUST support the HTTP GET, HEAD, POST,
and DELETE methods as defined in [RFC 7231].
The only representation specified in this document is JSON [RFC 7159].
It MUST be supported by the uCDN and by the dCDN.
The URL of the dCDN's collection of all Trigger Status Resources
needs to be either discovered by or configured in the uCDN. The
mechanism for discovery of that URL is outside the scope of this
document.
CI/T Commands are POSTed to the dCDN's collection of all Trigger
Status Resources. If a CI/T Trigger Command is accepted by the dCDN,
the dCDN creates a new Trigger Status Resource and returns its URI to
the uCDN in an HTTP 201 response. The triggered activity can then be
monitored by the uCDN using that resource and the collections
described in Section 3.
The URI of each Trigger Status Resource is returned to the uCDN when
it is created, and URIs of all Trigger Status Resources are listed in
the dCDN's collection of all Trigger Status Resources. This means
all Trigger Status Resources can be discovered by the uCDN, so dCDNs
are free to assign whatever structure they desire to the URIs for
CI/T resources. Therefore, uCDNs MUST NOT make any assumptions
regarding the structure of CI/T URIs or the mapping between CI/T
objects and their associated URIs. URIs present in the examples in
this document are purely illustrative and are not intended to impose
a definitive structure on CI/T interface implementations.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 10
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
4.1. Creating Triggers
To issue a CI/T Command, the uCDN makes an HTTP POST to the dCDN's
collection of all of the uCDN's Trigger Status Resources. The
request body of that POST is a CI/T Command, as described in
Section 5.1.1.
The dCDN validates the CI/T Command. If the command is malformed or
the uCDN does not have sufficient access rights, the dCDN MUST either
respond with an appropriate 4xx HTTP error code and not create a
Trigger Status Resource or create a "failed" Trigger Status Resource
containing an appropriate Error Description.
When a CI/T Trigger Command is accepted, the uCDN MUST create a new
Trigger Status Resource that will convey a specification of the CI/T
Command and its current status. The HTTP response to the dCDN MUST
have status code 201 and MUST convey the URI of the Trigger Status
Resource in the Location header field [RFC 7231]. The HTTP response
SHOULD include the content of the newly created Trigger Status
Resource. This is particularly important in cases where the CI/T
Trigger Command has completed immediately.
Once a Trigger Status Resource has been created, the dCDN MUST NOT
reuse its URI, even after that Trigger Status Resource has been
removed.
The dCDN SHOULD track and report on the progress of CI/T Trigger
Commands using a Trigger Status Resource (Section 5.1.2). If the
dCDN is not able to do that, it MUST indicate that it has accepted
the request but will not be providing further status updates. To do
this, it sets the status of the Trigger Status Resource to
"processed". In this case, CI/T processing should continue as for a
"complete" request, so the Trigger Status Resource MUST be added to
the dCDN's collection of complete Trigger Status Resources. The dCDN
SHOULD also provide an estimated completion time for the request by
using the "etime" property of the Trigger Status Resource. This will
allow the uCDN to schedule pre-positioning after an earlier delete of
the same URLs is expected to have finished.
If the dCDN is able to track the execution of CI/T Commands and a
CI/T Command is queued by the dCDN for later action, the "status"
property of the Trigger Status Resource MUST be "pending". Once
processing has started, the status MUST be "active". Finally, once
the CI/T Command is complete, the status MUST be set to "complete" or
"failed".
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 11
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
A CI/T Trigger Command may result in no activity in the dCDN if, for
example, it is an "invalidate" or "purge" request for data the dCDN
has not yet acquired, or a "preposition" request for data that it has
already acquired and that is still valid. In this case, the status
of the Trigger Status Resource MUST be "processed" or "complete", and
the Trigger Status Resource MUST be added to the dCDN's collection of
complete Trigger Status Resources.
Once created, Trigger Status Resources can be canceled or deleted by
the uCDN, but not modified. The dCDN MUST reject PUT and POST
requests from the uCDN to Trigger Status Resources by responding with
an appropriate HTTP status code -- for example, 405 ("Method Not
Allowed").
4.2. Checking Status
The uCDN has two ways to check the progress of CI/T Commands it has
issued to the dCDN, as described in Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2.
To allow the uCDN to check for changes in the status of a Trigger
Status Resource or collection of Trigger Status Resources without
refetching the whole resource or collection, the dCDN SHOULD include
entity-tags (ETags) for the uCDN to use as cache validators, as
defined in [RFC 7232].
The dCDN SHOULD use the cache control headers for responses to GETs
for Trigger Status Resources and Collections to indicate the
frequency at which it recommends that the uCDN should poll for
change.
4.2.1. Polling Trigger Status Resource Collections
The uCDN can fetch the collection of its Trigger Status Resources or
filtered views of that collection.
This makes it possible to poll the status of all CI/T Trigger
Commands in a single request. If the dCDN moves a Trigger Status
Resource from the active to the completed collection, the uCDN can
fetch the result of that activity.
When polling in this way, the uCDN SHOULD use HTTP ETags to monitor
for change, rather than repeatedly fetching the whole collection. An
example of this is given in Section 6.2.4.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 12
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
4.2.2. Polling Trigger Status Resources
The uCDN has a URI provided by the dCDN for each Trigger Status
Resource it has created. It may fetch that Trigger Status Resource
at any time.
This can be used to retrieve progress information and to fetch the
result of the CI/T Command.
When polling in this way, the uCDN SHOULD use HTTP ETags to monitor
for change, rather than repeatedly fetching the Trigger Status
Resource.
4.3. Canceling Triggers
The uCDN can request cancellation of a CI/T Trigger Command by
POSTing a CI/T Cancel Command to the collection of all Trigger Status
Resources.
The dCDN is required to accept and respond to the CI/T Cancel
Command, but the actual cancellation of a CI/T Trigger Command is
optional-to-implement.
The dCDN MUST respond to the CI/T Cancel Command appropriately -- for
example, with HTTP status code 200 ("OK") if the cancellation has
been processed and the CI/T Command is inactive, 202 ("Accepted") if
the command has been accepted but the CI/T Command remains active, or
501 ("Not Implemented") if cancellation is not supported by the dCDN.
If cancellation of a "pending" Trigger Status Resource is accepted by
the dCDN, the dCDN SHOULD NOT start the processing of that activity.
Issuing a CI/T Cancel Command for a "pending" Trigger Status Resource
does not, however, guarantee that the corresponding activity will not
be started, because the uCDN cannot control the timing of that
activity. Processing could, for example, start after the POST is
sent by the uCDN but before that request is processed by the dCDN.
If cancellation of an "active" or "processed" Trigger Status Resource
is accepted by the dCDN, the dCDN SHOULD stop processing the CI/T
Command. However, as with cancellation of a "pending" CI/T Command,
the dCDN does not guarantee this.
If the CI/T Command cannot be stopped immediately, the status in the
corresponding Trigger Status Resource MUST be set to "cancelling",
and the Trigger Status Resource MUST remain in the collection of
Trigger Status Resources for active CI/T Commands. If processing is
stopped before normal completion, the status value in the Trigger
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 13
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
Status Resource MUST be set to "cancelled", and the Trigger Status
Resource MUST be included in the collection of failed CI/T Trigger
Commands.
Cancellation of a "complete" or "failed" Trigger Status Resource
requires no processing in the dCDN. Its status MUST NOT be changed
to "cancelled".
4.4. Deleting Triggers
The uCDN can delete Trigger Status Resources at any time, using the
HTTP DELETE method. The effect is similar to cancellation, but no
Trigger Status Resource remains afterwards.
Once deleted, the references to a Trigger Status Resource MUST be
removed from all Trigger Status Resource collections. Subsequent
requests to GET the deleted Trigger Status Resource SHOULD be
rejected by the dCDN with an HTTP error.
If a "pending" Trigger Status Resource is deleted, the dCDN
SHOULD NOT start the processing of that activity. Deleting a
"pending" Trigger Status Resource does not, however, guarantee that
it has not started, because the uCDN cannot control the timing of
that activity. Processing may, for example, start after the DELETE
is sent by the uCDN but before that request is processed by the dCDN.
If an "active" or "processed" Trigger Status Resource is deleted, the
dCDN SHOULD stop processing the CI/T Command. However, as with
deletion of a "pending" Trigger Status Resource, the dCDN does not
guarantee this.
Deletion of a "complete" or "failed" Trigger Status Resource requires
no processing in the dCDN other than deletion of the Trigger Status
Resource.
4.5. Expiry of Trigger Status Resources
The dCDN can choose to automatically delete Trigger Status Resources
some time after they become "complete", "processed", "failed", or
"cancelled". In this case, the dCDN will remove the Trigger Status
Resource and respond to subsequent requests for it with an HTTP
error.
If the dCDN does remove Trigger Status Resources automatically, it
MUST report the length of time after which it will do so, using a
property of the collection of all Trigger Status Resources. It is
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 14
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
RECOMMENDED that Trigger Status Resources are not automatically
deleted by the dCDN for at least 24 hours after they become
"complete", "processed", "failed", or "cancelled".
To ensure that it is able to get the status of its Trigger Status
Resources for completed and failed CI/T Commands, it is RECOMMENDED
that the uCDN polling interval is less than the time after which
records for completed activity will be deleted.
4.6. Loop Detection and Prevention
Given three CDNs, A, B, and C, if CDNs B and C delegate delivery of
CDN A's content to each other, CDN A's CI/T Commands could be passed
between CDNs B and C in a loop. More complex networks of CDNs could
contain similar loops involving more hops.
In order to prevent and detect such CI/T loops, each CDN uses a CDN
Provider ID (PID) to uniquely identify itself. In every CI/T Command
it originates or cascades, each CDN MUST append an array element
containing its CDN PID to a JSON array under an entry named
"cdn-path". When receiving CI/T Commands, a dCDN MUST check the
cdn-path and reject any CI/T Command that already contains its own
CDN PID in the cdn-path. Transit CDNs MUST check the cdn-path and
not cascade the CI/T Command to dCDNs that are already listed in the
cdn-path.
The CDN PID consists of the two characters "AS" followed by the CDN
provider's Autonomous System number [RFC 1930], then a colon (":") and
an additional qualifier that is used to guarantee uniqueness in case
a particular AS has multiple independent CDNs deployed -- for
example, "AS64496:0".
If the CDN provider has multiple ASes, the same AS number SHOULD be
used in all messages from that CDN provider, unless there are
multiple distinct CDNs.
If the CDNI Request Routing Redirection interface (RI) described in
[RFC 7975] is implemented by the dCDN, the CI/T interface and the RI
SHOULD use the same CDN PID.
4.7. Error Handling
A dCDN can signal rejection of a CI/T Command using HTTP status codes
-- for example, 400 ("Bad Request") if the request is malformed, or
403 ("Forbidden") or 404 ("Not Found") if the uCDN does not have
permission to issue CI/T Commands or it is trying to act on another
CDN's data.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 15
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
If any part of the CI/T Trigger Command fails, the trigger SHOULD be
reported as "failed" once its activity is complete or if no further
errors will be reported. The "errors" property in the Trigger Status
Resource will be used to enumerate which actions failed and the
reasons for failure, and can be present while the Trigger Status
Resource is still "pending" or "active", if the CI/T Trigger Command
is still running for some URLs or patterns in the Trigger
Specification.
Once a request has been accepted, processing errors are reported in
the Trigger Status Resource using a list of Error Descriptions. Each
Error Description is used to report errors against one or more of the
URLs or patterns in the Trigger Specification.
If a Surrogate affected by a CI/T Trigger Command is offline in the
dCDN or the dCDN is unable to pass a CI/T Command on to any of its
cascaded dCDNs:
o If the CI/T Command is abandoned by the dCDN, the dCDN SHOULD
report an error.
o A CI/T "invalidate" command may be reported as "complete" when
Surrogates that may have the data are offline. In this case,
Surrogates MUST NOT use the affected data without first
revalidating it when they are back online.
o CI/T "preposition" and "purge" commands can be reported as
"processed" if affected caches are offline and the activity will
complete when they return to service.
o Otherwise, the dCDN SHOULD keep the Trigger Status Resource in
state "pending" or "active" until either the CI/T Command is acted
upon or the uCDN chooses to cancel it.
4.8. Content URLs
If content URLs are transformed by an intermediate CDN in a cascade,
that intermediate CDN MUST similarly transform URLs in CI/T Commands
it passes to its dCDN.
When processing Trigger Specifications, CDNs MUST ignore the URL
scheme (HTTP or HTTPS) in comparing URLs. For example, for a CI/T
"invalidate" or "purge" command, content MUST be invalidated or
purged regardless of the protocol clients used to request it.

RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
5. CI/T Object Properties and Encoding
The CI/T Commands, Trigger Status Resources, and Trigger Collections,
as well as their properties, are encoded using JSON, as defined in
Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2, and 5.1.3. They MUST use the MIME media type
"application/cdni", with parameter "ptype" values as defined below
and in Section 7.1.
Names in JSON are case sensitive. The names and literal values
specified in the present document MUST always use lowercase.
JSON types, including "object", "array", "number", and "string", are
defined in [RFC 7159].
Unrecognized name/value pairs in JSON objects SHOULD NOT be treated
as an error by either the uCDN or dCDN. They SHOULD be ignored
during processing and passed on by the dCDN to any further dCDNs in a
cascade.
5.1. CI/T Objects
The top-level objects defined by the CI/T interface are described in
this section.
The encoding of values used by these objects is described in
Section 5.2.
5.1.1. CI/T Commands
CI/T Commands MUST use a MIME media type of "application/cdni;
ptype=ci-trigger-command".
A CI/T Command is encoded as a JSON object containing the following
name/value pairs.

collection.
Value: A JSON array of zero or more URLs, represented as JSON
strings.
Mandatory: Yes.

the dCDN's cdn-id in the collection of all Trigger Status
Resources, but the dCDN can choose to repeat that information
in its implementation of filtered collections).
5.2. Properties of CI/T Objects
This section defines the values that can appear in the top-level
objects described in Section 5.1, and their encodings.
5.2.1. Trigger Specification
A Trigger Collection is encoded as a JSON object containing the
following name/value pairs.
An unrecognized name/value pair in the Trigger Specification object
contained in a CI/T Command SHOULD be preserved in the Trigger
Specification of any Trigger Status Resource it creates.
Name: type

Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 22
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
Name: content.patterns
Description: The content data the trigger applies to.
Value: A JSON array of PatternMatch objects, as defined in
Section 5.2.4.
Mandatory: No, but at least one of "metadata.*" or "content.*"
MUST be present and non-empty, and content.patterns MUST NOT be

5.2.2. Trigger Type
Trigger Type is used in a Trigger Specification to describe trigger
action.
All trigger types MUST be registered in the IANA "CDNI CI/T Trigger
Types" registry (see Section 7.2).
A dCDN receiving a request containing a trigger type it does not
recognize or does not support MUST reject the request by creating a
Trigger Status Resource with a status of "failed" and the "errors"
array containing an Error Description with error "eunsupported".
The following trigger types are defined by this document:
+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| JSON String | Description |
+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| preposition | A request for the dCDN to acquire metadata or |
| | content. |
| invalidate | A request for the dCDN to invalidate metadata or |
| | content. After servicing this request, the dCDN |
| | will not use the specified data without first |
| | revalidating it using, for example, an |
| | "If-None-Match" HTTP request. The dCDN need not |
| | erase the associated data. |
| purge | A request for the dCDN to erase metadata or |
| | content. After servicing the request, the |
| | specified data MUST NOT be held on the dCDN (the |
| | dCDN should reacquire the metadata or content from |
| | the uCDN if it needs it). |
+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 23
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
5.2.3. Trigger Status
Trigger Status describes the current status of the triggered
activity. It MUST be one of the JSON strings in the following table:
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| JSON | Description |
| String | |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| pending | The CI/T Trigger Command has not yet been acted upon. |
| active | The CI/T Trigger Command is currently being acted |
| | upon. |
| complete | The CI/T Trigger Command completed successfully. |
| processed | The CI/T Trigger Command has been accepted, and no |
| | further status update will be made (can be used in |
| | cases where completion cannot be confirmed). |
| failed | The CI/T Trigger Command could not be completed. |
| canceling | Processing of the CI/T Trigger Command is still in |
| | progress, but the CI/T Trigger Command has been |
| | canceled by the uCDN. |
| canceled | The CI/T Trigger Command was canceled by the uCDN. |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
5.2.4. PatternMatch
A PatternMatch consists of a string pattern to match against a URI,
and flags describing the type of match.
It is encoded as a JSON object with the following name/value pairs:
Name: pattern
Description: A pattern for URI matching.
Value: A JSON string representing the pattern. The pattern can
contain the wildcards * and ?, where * matches any sequence of
[RFC 3986] pchar or "/" characters (including the empty string)
and ? matches exactly one [RFC 3986] pchar character. The three
literals $, * and ? MUST be escaped as $$, $* and $? (where $
is the designated escape character). All other characters are
treated as literals.
Mandatory: Yes.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 24
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
Name: case-sensitive
Description: Flag indicating whether or not case-sensitive
matching should be used.
Value: One of the JSON values "true" (the matching is case
sensitive) or "false" (the matching is case insensitive).
Mandatory: No; default is case-insensitive match.
Name: match-query-string
Description: Flag indicating whether to include the query part
of the URI when comparing against the pattern.
Value: One of the JSON values "true" (the full URI, including
the query part, should be compared against the given pattern)
or "false" (the query part of the URI should be dropped before
comparison with the given pattern).
Mandatory: No; default is "false". The query part of the URI
should be dropped before comparison with the given pattern.
Example of case-sensitive prefix match against
"https://www.example.com/trailers/":
{
"pattern": "https://www.example.com/trailers/*",
"case-sensitive": true
}
5.2.5. Absolute Time
A JSON number, seconds since the UNIX epoch (00:00:00 UTC on
1 January 1970).
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 25
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
5.2.6. Error Description
An Error Description is used to report the failure of a CI/T Command
or failure in the activity it triggered. It is encoded as a JSON
object with the following name/value pairs:
Name: error
Value: Error Code, as defined in Section 5.2.7.
Mandatory: Yes.
Names: metadata.urls, content.urls, metadata.patterns,
content.patterns
Description: Metadata and content references copied from the
Trigger Specification. Only those URLs and patterns to which
the error applies are included in each property, but those URLs
and patterns MUST be exactly as they appear in the request; the
dCDN MUST NOT generalize the URLs. (For example, if the uCDN
requests pre-positioning of URLs
"https://content.example.com/a" and
"https://content.example.com/b", the dCDN must not generalize
its error report to the pattern
"https://content.example.com/*".)
Value: A JSON array of JSON strings, where each string is
copied from a "content.*" or "metadata.*" value in the
corresponding Trigger Specification.
Mandatory: At least one of these name/value pairs is mandatory
in each Error Description object.
Name: description
Description: A human-readable description of the error.
Value: A JSON string, the human-readable description.
Mandatory: No.
5.2.7. Error Code
This type is used by the dCDN to report failures in trigger
processing. All Error Codes MUST be registered in the IANA "CDNI
CI/T Error Codes" registry (see Section 7.3). Unknown Error Codes
MUST be treated as fatal errors, and the request MUST NOT be
automatically retried without modification.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 26
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
The following Error Codes are defined by this document and MUST be
supported by an implementation of the CI/T interface.
+--------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Error Code | Description |
+--------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| emeta | The dCDN was unable to acquire metadata required |
| | to fulfill the request. |
| econtent | The dCDN was unable to acquire content (CI/T |
| | "preposition" commands only). |
| eperm | The uCDN does not have permission to issue the |
| | CI/T Command (for example, the data is owned by |
| | another CDN). |
| ereject | The dCDN is not willing to fulfill the CI/T |
| | Command (for example, a "preposition" request for |
| | content at a time when the dCDN would not accept |
| | Request Routing requests from the uCDN). |
| ecdn | An internal error in the dCDN or one of its dCDNs. |
| ecanceled | The uCDN canceled the request. |
| eunsupported | The Trigger Specification contained a "type" that |
| | is not supported by the dCDN. No action was taken |
| | by the dCDN other than to create a Trigger Status |
| | Resource in state "failed". |
+--------------+----------------------------------------------------+
6. Examples
The following subsections provide examples of different CI/T objects
encoded as JSON.
Discovery of the CI/T interface is out of scope for this document.
In an implementation, all CI/T URLs are under the control of the
dCDN. The uCDN MUST NOT attempt to ascribe any meaning to individual
elements of the path.
In examples in this section, the URL "https://dcdn.example.com/
triggers" is used as the location of the collection of all Trigger
Status Resources, and the CDN PID of the uCDN is "AS64496:1".

6.1. Creating Triggers
Examples of the uCDN triggering activity in the dCDN:
6.1.1. Preposition
Below is an example of a CI/T "preposition" command -- a POST to the
collection of all Trigger Status Resources.
Note that "metadata.patterns" and "content.patterns" are not allowed
in a pre-position Trigger Specification.

6.2. Examining Trigger Status
Once Trigger Status Resources have been created, the uCDN can check
their status as shown in the following examples.
6.2.1. Collection of All Triggers
The uCDN can fetch the collection of all Trigger Status Resources it
has created that have not yet been deleted or removed as expired.
After creation of the "preposition" and "invalidate" triggers shown
above, this collection might look as follows:
REQUEST:
GET /triggers HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: example-user-agent/0.1
Host: dcdn.example.com
Accept: */*
RESPONSE:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

"coll-pending": "/triggers/pending",
"staleresourcetime": 86400,
"triggers": [
"https://dcdn.example.com/triggers/0",
"https://dcdn.example.com/triggers/1"
]
}
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 32
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
6.2.2. Filtered Collections of Trigger Status Resources
The filtered collections are also available to the uCDN. Before the
dCDN starts processing the two CI/T Trigger Commands shown above,
both will appear in the collection of pending triggers. For example:
REQUEST:
GET /triggers/pending HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: example-user-agent/0.1
Host: dcdn.example.com
Accept: */*
RESPONSE:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 152
Expires: Wed, 04 May 2016 08:49:11 GMT
Server: example-server/0.1
ETag: "4331492443626270781"
Cache-Control: max-age=60

Content-Type: application/cdni; ptype=ci-trigger-collection
{
"staleresourcetime": 86400,
"triggers": [
"https://dcdn.example.com/triggers/0",
"https://dcdn.example.com/triggers/1"
]
}
At this point, if no other Trigger Status Resources had been created,
the other filtered views would be empty. For example:
REQUEST:
GET /triggers/complete HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: example-user-agent/0.1
Host: dcdn.example.com
Accept: */*

6.2.3. Individual Trigger Status Resources
The Trigger Status Resources can also be examined for details about
individual CI/T Trigger Commands. For example, for the CI/T
"preposition" and "invalidate" commands from previous examples:

6.2.4. Polling for Changes in Status
The uCDN SHOULD use the ETags of collections or Trigger Status
Resources when polling for changes in status, as shown in the
following examples:
REQUEST:
GET /triggers/pending HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: example-user-agent/0.1
Host: dcdn.example.com
Accept: */*
If-None-Match: "4331492443626270781"

GET /triggers/0 HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: example-user-agent/0.1
Host: dcdn.example.com
Accept: */*
If-None-Match: "6990548174277557683"

Cache-Control: max-age=60
Date: Wed, 04 May 2016 08:48:10 GMT
Content-Type: application/cdni; ptype=ci-trigger-status
When the CI/T Trigger Command is complete, the contents of the
filtered collections will be updated along with their ETags. For
example, when the two example CI/T Trigger Commands are complete, the
collections of pending and complete Trigger Status Resources might
look like:
REQUEST:
GET /triggers/pending HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: example-user-agent/0.1
Host: dcdn.example.com
Accept: */*
RESPONSE:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

"https://dcdn.example.com/triggers/1"
]
}
6.2.5. Deleting Trigger Status Resources
The uCDN can delete completed and failed Trigger Status Resources to
reduce the size of the collections, as described in Section 4.4. For
example, to delete the "preposition" request from earlier examples:
REQUEST:
DELETE /triggers/0 HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: example-user-agent/0.1
Host: dcdn.example.com
Accept: */*
RESPONSE:
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
Date: Wed, 04 May 2016 08:48:22 GMT
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Server: example-server/0.1
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 38
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
This would, for example, cause the collection of completed Trigger
Status Resources shown in the example above to be updated to:
REQUEST:
GET /triggers/complete HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: example-user-agent/0.1
Host: dcdn.example.com
Accept: */*
RESPONSE:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 105
Expires: Wed, 04 May 2016 08:49:22 GMT
Server: example-server/0.1
ETag: "-6938620031669085677"

Content-Type: application/cdni; ptype=ci-trigger-collection
{
"staleresourcetime": 86400,
"triggers": [
"https://dcdn.example.com/triggers/1"
]
}
6.2.6. Error Reporting
In this example, the uCDN has requested pre-positioning of
"https://newsite.example.com/index.html", but the dCDN was unable to
locate metadata for that site:
REQUEST:
GET /triggers/2 HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: example-user-agent/0.1
Host: dcdn.example.com
Accept: */*

7. IANA Considerations
7.1. CDNI Payload Type Parameter Registrations
The IANA is requested to register the following new Payload Types in
the "CDNI Payload Types" registry defined by [RFC 7736], for use with
the "application/cdni" MIME media type.
+-----------------------+---------------+
| Payload Type | Specification |
+-----------------------+---------------+
| ci-trigger-command | RFC 8007 |
| ci-trigger-status | RFC 8007 |
| ci-trigger-collection | RFC 8007 |
+-----------------------+---------------+
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 40
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
7.2. "CDNI CI/T Trigger Types" Registry
The IANA is requested to create a new "CDNI CI/T Trigger Types"
subregistry under the "Content Delivery Network Interconnection
(CDNI) Parameters" registry.
Additions to the "CDNI CI/T Trigger Types" registry will be made via
the RFC Required policy as defined in [RFC 5226].
The initial contents of the "CDNI CI/T Trigger Types" registry
comprise the names and descriptions listed in Section 5.2.2 of this
document, with this document acting as the specification.
7.3. "CDNI CI/T Error Codes" Registry
The IANA is requested to create a new "CDNI CI/T Error Codes"
subregistry under the "Content Delivery Network Interconnection
(CDNI) Parameters" registry.
Additions to the "CDNI CI/T Error Codes" registry will be made via
the Specification Required policy as defined in [RFC 5226]. The
Designated Expert will verify that new Error Code registrations do
not duplicate existing Error Code definitions (in name or
functionality), prevent gratuitous additions to the namespace, and
prevent any additions to the namespace that would impair the
interoperability of CDNI implementations.
The initial contents of the "CDNI CI/T Error Codes" registry comprise
the names and descriptions of the Error Codes listed in Section 5.2.7
of this document, with this document acting as the specification.
8. Security Considerations
The CI/T interface provides a mechanism to allow a uCDN to generate
requests into the dCDN and to inspect its own CI/T requests and their
current states. The CI/T interface does not allow access to, or
modification of, the uCDN or dCDN metadata relating to content
delivery or to the content itself. It can only control the presence
of that metadata in the dCDN, and the processing work and network
utilization involved in ensuring that presence.
By examining "preposition" requests to a dCDN, and correctly
interpreting content and metadata URLs, an attacker could learn the
uCDN's or content owner's predictions for future content popularity.
By examining "invalidate" or "purge" requests, an attacker could
learn about changes in the content owner's catalog.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 41
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
By injecting CI/T Commands, an attacker or a misbehaving uCDN would
generate work in the dCDN and uCDN as they process those requests.
So would a man-in-the-middle attacker modifying valid CI/T Commands
generated by the uCDN. In both cases, that would decrease the dCDN's
caching efficiency by causing it to unnecessarily acquire or
reacquire content metadata and/or content.
A dCDN implementation of CI/T MUST restrict the actions of a uCDN to
the data corresponding to that uCDN. Failure to do so would allow
uCDNs to detrimentally affect each other's efficiency by generating
unnecessary acquisition or reacquisition load.
An origin that chooses to delegate its delivery to a CDN is trusting
that CDN to deliver content on its behalf; the interconnection of
CDNs is an extension of that trust to dCDNs. That trust relationship
is a commercial arrangement, outside the scope of the CDNI protocols.
So, while a malicious CDN could deliberately generate load on a dCDN
using the CI/T interface, the protocol does not otherwise attempt to
address malicious behavior between interconnected CDNs.
8.1. Authentication, Authorization, Confidentiality, Integrity
Protection
A CI/T implementation MUST support Transport Layer Security (TLS)
transport for HTTP (HTTPS) as per [RFC 2818] and [RFC 7230].
TLS MUST be used by the server side (dCDN) and the client side (uCDN)
of the CI/T interface, including authentication of the remote end,
unless alternate methods are used for ensuring the security of the
information in the CI/T interface requests and responses (such as
setting up an IPsec tunnel between the two CDNs or using a physically
secured internal network between two CDNs that are owned by the same
corporate entity).
The use of TLS for transport of the CI/T interface allows the dCDN
and the uCDN to authenticate each other using TLS client
authentication and TLS server authentication.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 42
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
Once the dCDN and the uCDN have mutually authenticated each other,
TLS allows:
o The dCDN and the uCDN to authorize each other (to ensure that they
are receiving CI/T Commands from, or reporting status to, an
authorized CDN).
o CDNI commands and responses to be transmitted with
confidentiality.
o Protection of the integrity of CDNI commands and responses.
When TLS is used, the general TLS usage guidance in [RFC 7525] MUST be
followed.
The mechanisms for access control are dCDN-specific and are not
standardized as part of this CI/T specification.
HTTP requests that attempt to access or operate on CI/T data
belonging to another CDN MUST be rejected using, for example,
HTTP 403 ("Forbidden") or 404 ("Not Found"). This is intended to
prevent unauthorized users from generating unnecessary load in dCDNs
or uCDNs due to revalidation, reacquisition, or unnecessary
acquisition.
When deploying a network of interconnected CDNs, the possible
inefficiencies related to the diamond configuration discussed in
Section 2.2.1 should be considered.
8.2. Denial of Service
This document does not define a specific mechanism to protect against
Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks on the CI/T interface. However, CI/T
endpoints can be protected against DoS attacks through the use of TLS
transport and/or via mechanisms outside the scope of the CI/T
interface, such as firewalling or the use of Virtual Private Networks
(VPNs).
Depending on the implementation, triggered activity may consume
significant processing and bandwidth in the dCDN. A malicious or
faulty uCDN could use this to generate unnecessary load in the dCDN.
The dCDN should consider mechanisms to avoid overload -- for example,
by rate-limiting acceptance or processing of CI/T Commands, or by
performing batch processing.
Murray & Niven-Jenkins Standards Track PAGE 43
RFC 8007 CDN Interconnect Triggers December 2016
8.3. Privacy
The CI/T protocol does not carry any information about individual end
users of a CDN; there are no privacy concerns for end users.
The CI/T protocol does carry information that could be considered
commercially sensitive by CDN operators and content owners. The use
of mutually authenticated TLS to establish a secure session for the
transport of CI/T data, as discussed in Section 8.1, provides
confidentiality while the CI/T data is in transit and prevents
parties other than the authorized dCDN from gaining access to that
data. The dCDN MUST ensure that it only exposes CI/T data related to
a uCDN to clients it has authenticated as belonging to that uCDN.
