Glenn,

I talked to you during the IETF 96 Bits & Bytes a couple of weeks ago.
Really like the content in the draft-deen-daigle-ggie-01. Being a network p=
erson, I see some elements of GGIE that network can provide.

First a few questions:

-        Media Encoding Networks (MEN):

o   Does each instance of MEN represent one "manifest file" for a video con=
tent (i.e. the complete set of Chunks for one video)? Like movie A can cons=
ist of XX of chunks, and there is one  MEN instance for Movie A? another ME=
N instance for Movie B?

Does the MEN instance for Movie A has XX number of chunks? Does each chunk =
have an address (i.e. does each chunk of the video clip has an address)?



o   "Media Encoded Network" same as "Media Encoding Network"?

o   Does one instance of "Media Encoding Network" have one address? Or each=
 element of one MEN have one address?

-        You mentioned during our conversation in Bits& Bytes to use IPv6 a=
ddresses. Are the IPv6 addresses used to represent MEN? Or the elements of =
a MEN instance?

-        Is the "Shard" same as MEN instance?

-        Your saying of "networking routing the request for the shard" is a=
bout find the location addresses for the elements of the Shard, correct?

Thank you very much,

Linda Dunbar

Hi Linda,

Each MEN is defined for a specific type of encode/transport. Think of it li=
ke a template for the  addresses allocation scheme in the subnetwork addres=
ses the video elements/chunks is defined.  For instance you could defined a=
 MEN layout for MPEG-DASH, and assign in the layout that say a particular a=
ddress in the network returns the DASH manifest for the player to use.   If=
 you had a different type of encoding/transport that used a different type =
of manifest, you would define a different MEN scheme for that encoding/tran=

riate MEN.  Meaning we don=92t have to have all the answers upfront, and th=
e system is easily extensible without changing any of the previous GGIE cho=
ices.


>> Does the MEN instance for Movie A has XX number of chunks? Does each chu=
nk have an address (i.e. does each chunk of the video clip has an address)?

Yes, at least for the MEN we defined for MPEG DASH because DASH partitions =
the video into chunks.  The way you would do it for other transports would =
depend on the nature of the transport, but in general yes.   II our example=
 we did give each chunk does have a distinct address, and we also organized=
 them into a address assignment scheme that reflected the MPEG-DASH iFrame =
alignments.


>> Media Encoded Network=94 same as =93Media Encoding Network=94?

Yes. Forgive us, we are trying to settle down on the terminology and there =
are some consistency edits that need to be made in the IDs.


>> Does one instance of =93Media Encoding Network=94 have one address? Or e=
ach element of one MEN have one address?

A MEN instance will have a distinct prefix, and the chunks under it will ha=
ve addresses allocated in a format appropriate scheme.   Together they are =
basically an IPv6 subnet.  To introduce a new format, you would define a ne=
w MEN for it, and then follow theatMEN scheme when you assign addresses to =
the media elements.


>>-        You mentioned during our conversation in Bits& Bytes to use IPv6=
 addresses. Are the IPv6 addresses used to represent MEN? Or the elements o=
f a MEN instance?

An MPEG-DASH MEN is an IPv6 subnet with a common prefix and then each chunk=
 is allocated an IPv6 address.  The layout is in the MEN for MPEG-DASH ID, =
but a big part of it is that we organized the chunk with aligned iFrames so=
 that their shard addresses where all the same, except for the encode ID bi=
ts.       The layout was  of the 128 bits:     Prefix N bits :  Encoding ID=
 M bits:  Shard ID 128-N-M bits.        This lets the MPEG-DASH player chan=
ge bit rate encodings by just changing the Encoding ID bits and leaving eve=
rything else the same.


>> -        Is the =93Shard=94 same as MEN instance?
MPEG-DASH uses the term Chunk for a block of frames of video with a startin=
g iFrame.    Since we are trying to make GGIE support a wide variety of enc=
odings/transports we use the generic Shard instead of Chunk.
Chunk =3D=3D Shard


>>  Your saying of =93networking routing the request for the shard=94 is ab=
out find the location addresses for the elements of the Shard, correct?

Yes, but like any routing request it also is about the path to the shard.  =
  This gets to part of the reason why we are proposing addresses for shards=
 in GGIE, so that the network can be involved in helping make path choices =
between the requestor and an instance of the shard.   Today it=92s entirely=
 done by  the manifest creator with some interaction with the DNS in many c=
ases when it creates the URL=92s that it populates the manifest with.

Subject: [GGIE] Some questions on GGIE

Glenn,

I talked to you during the IETF 96 Bits & Bytes a couple of weeks ago.
Really like the content in the draft-deen-daigle-ggie-01. Being a network p=
erson, I see some elements of GGIE that network can provide.

First a few questions:

-        Media Encoding Networks (MEN):

o   Does each instance of MEN represent one =93manifest file=94 for a video=
 content (i.e. the complete set of Chunks for one video)? Like movie A can =
consist of XX of chunks, and there is one  MEN instance for Movie A? anothe=
r MEN instance for Movie B?

Does the MEN instance for Movie A has XX number of chunks? Does each chunk =
have an address (i.e. does each chunk of the video clip has an address)?



o   =93Media Encoded Network=94 same as =93Media Encoding Network=94?

o   Does one instance of =93Media Encoding Network=94 have one address? Or =
each element of one MEN have one address?

-        You mentioned during our conversation in Bits& Bytes to use IPv6 a=
ddresses. Are the IPv6 addresses used to represent MEN? Or the elements of =
a MEN instance?

-        Is the =93Shard=94 same as MEN instance?

-        Your saying of =93networking routing the request for the shard=94 =
is about find the location addresses for the elements of the Shard, correct=
?

Thank you very much,

Each MEN is defined for a specific type of encode/transport. Think of it li=
ke a template for the &nbsp;addresses allocation scheme in the subnetwork a=
ddresses the video elements/chunks is defined. &nbsp;For instance you could=
 defined a MEN layout for MPEG-DASH, and assign
 in the layout that say a particular address in the network returns the DAS=
H manifest for the player to use. &nbsp; If you had a different type of enc=
oding/transport that used a different type of manifest, you would define a =
different MEN scheme for that encoding/transport.
