RE: Is CDI dead?I would like to benefit from this sudden surge of activity
on this mailing list and quickly ask if somebody knows about any vendor
selling surrogates/middleware able to do encryption and watermarking on the
fly??? (hope i'm not too off-topic, otherwise apologies)

Thanks for any hint.

  With ref to this extract from you rmail:
    The reality of CDI is that we've gone from having
  "lots of CDN operators, many interested in interoperation" to having "very
  few CDN operators, all focused on survival".  You can't make progress on
  standardization efforts when the stakeholders are unwilling or unable to
  participate.

     I agree with you in toto.
     I personally feel that the cost of CDN hardware like the Content Engine
or Switch is quite expensive for the times we are in now.
    Not that we need Content Networking less , actually there is a greater
need for really fast access of high bandwidth consuming multimedia converged
content.
    Solutions like Justin Chapweske's Tornado Web Raid CDN which is
essentially an intelligent peer to peer solution based on an intelligent
content gateway inside the corporate net, and intelligent "onion peers",
merits attention for a solution for today for fast access of content rich
media.
    I refer you to :
      http://onionnetworks.com
  for information and comments re Justin's solution.

    I think it's important to distinguish a working group from an interest
    group.

    No-one is saying that CDI is an uninteresting topic.  Many of us expect
that
    the subject will once again attract a sufficient level of attention in
the
    future to warrant standardization efforts. But the IETF does not charter
    working groups based on "2 or 3" people who want to comment on things.
And
    a working group that has reached the point of being defended on the
basis
    that there might still be a few people who want to talk about things is
    basically not functioning as a working group any more.

    There are many interesting things that are not standardized. (And there
are
    many things standardized that are not very interesting!)  It's important
to
    keep track of what kind of group you're dealing with and what kind of
work
    is to be done there.  The reality of CDI is that we've gone from having
    "lots of CDN operators, many interested in interoperation" to having
"very
    few CDN operators, all focused on survival".  You can't make progress on
    standardization efforts when the stakeholders are unwilling or unable to
    participate.
