1.  Introduction

   This memo specifies the CDNI Logging interface between a downstream
   CDN (dCDN) and an upstream CDN (uCDN).  First, it describes a
   reference model for CDNI logging.  Then, it specifies the CDNI
   Logging File format and the actual protocol for exchange of CDNI
   Logging Files.

   The reader should be familiar with the following documents:

   o  CDNI problem statement [RFC6707] and framework [RFC7336] identify
      a Logging interface,

   o  Section 8 of [RFC7337] specifies a set of requirements for
      Logging,

   o  [RFC6770] outlines real world use-cases for interconnecting CDNs.
      These use cases require the exchange of Logging information
      between the dCDN and the uCDN.

   As stated in [RFC6707], "the CDNI Logging interface enables details
   of logs or events to be exchanged between interconnected CDNs".

   The present document describes:

   o  The CDNI Logging reference model (Section 2),

   o  The CDNI Logging File format (Section 3),

   o  The CDNI Logging File Exchange protocol (Section 4).

1.1.  Terminology

   In this document, the first letter of each CDNI-specific term is
   capitalized.  We adopt the terminology described in [RFC6707] and
   [RFC7336], and extend it with the additional terms defined below.

   Intra-CDN Logging information: logging information generated and
   collected within a CDN.  The format of the Intra-CDN Logging
   information may be different to the format of the CDNI Logging
   information.

   CDNI Logging information: logging information exchanged across CDNs
   using the CDNI Logging Interface.

   Logging information: logging information generated and collected
   within a CDN or obtained from another CDN using the CDNI Logging
   Interface.

   CDNI Logging Field: an atomic element of information that can be
   included in a CDNI Logging Record.  The time an event/task started,
   the IP address of an End User to whom content was delivered, and the
   Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the content delivered, are
   examples of CDNI Logging fields.

   CDNI Logging Record: an information record providing information
   about a specific event.  This comprises a collection of CDNI Logging
   fields.

   CDNI Logging File: a file containing CDNI Logging Records, as well as
   additional information facilitating the processing of the CDNI
   Logging Records.

   CDN Reporting: the process of providing the relevant information that
   will be used to create a formatted content delivery report provided
   to the CSP in deferred time.  Such information typically includes
   aggregated data that can cover a large period of time (e.g., from
   hours to several months).  Uses of Reporting include the collection
   of charging data related to CDN services and the computation of Key
   Performance Indicators (KPIs).

   CDN Monitoring: the process of providing or displaying content
   delivery information in a timely fashion with respect to the
   corresponding deliveries.  Monitoring typically includes visibility
   of the deliveries in progress for service operation purposes.  It
   presents a view of the global health of the services as well as
   information on usage and performance, for network services
   supervision and operation management.  In particular, monitoring data
   can be used to generate alarms.

1.2.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC
   2119 [RFC2119].

2.  CDNI Logging Reference Model

2.1.  CDNI Logging interactions

   The CDNI logging reference model between a given uCDN and a given
   dCDN involves the following interactions:

   o  customization by the uCDN of the CDNI Logging information to be
      provided by the dCDN to the uCDN (e.g., control of which CDNI
      Logging fields are to be communicated to the uCDN for a given task
      performed by the dCDN or control of which types of events are to
      be logged).  The dCDN takes into account this CDNI Logging
      customization information to determine what Logging information to
      provide to the uCDN, but it may, or may not, take into account
      this CDNI Logging customization information to influence what CDN
      logging information is to be generated and collected within the
      dCDN (e.g., even if the uCDN requests a restricted subset of the
      logging information, the dCDN may elect to generate a broader set
      of logging information).  The mechanism to support the
      customization by the uCDN of CDNI Logging information is outside
      the scope of this document and left for further study.  Until such
      a mechanism is available, the uCDN and dCDN are expected to agree
      off-line on what exact set of CDNI Logging information is to be
      provided by the dCDN to the uCDN, and to rely on management plane
      actions to configure the CDNI Logging functions in the dCDN to
      generate this information set and in the uCDN to expect this
      information set.

   o  generation and collection by the dCDN of the intra-CDN Logging
      information related to the completion of any task performed by the
      dCDN on behalf of the uCDN (e.g., delivery of the content to an
      End User) or related to events happening in the dCDN that are
      relevant to the uCDN (e.g., failures or unavailability in dCDN).
      This takes place within the dCDN and does not directly involve
      CDNI interfaces.

   o  communication by the dCDN to the uCDN of the Logging information
      collected by the dCDN relevant to the uCDN.  This is supported by
      the CDNI Logging interface and in the scope of the present
      document.  For example, the uCDN may use this Logging information
      to charge the CSP, to perform analytics and monitoring for

      operational reasons, to provide analytics and monitoring views on
      its content delivery to the CSP or to perform trouble-shooting.
      This document exclusively specifies non-real-time exchange of
      Logging information.  Closer to real-time exchange of Logging
      information (say sub-minute or sub-second) is outside the scope of
      the present document and left for further study.  This document
      exclusively specifies exchange of Logging information related to
      content delivery.  Exchange of Logging information related to
      operational events (e.g., dCDN request routing function
      unavailable, content acquisition failure by dCDN) for audit or
      operational reactive adjustments by uCDN is outside the scope of
      the present document and left for further study.

   o  customization by the dCDN of the CDNI Logging information to be
      provided by the uCDN on behalf of the dCDN.  The mechanism to
      support the customization by the dCDN of CDNI Logging information
      is outside the scope of this document and left for further study.

   o  generation and collection by the uCDN of Intra-CDN Logging
      information related to the completion of any task performed by the
      uCDN on behalf of the dCDN (e.g., serving of content by uCDN to
      dCDN for acquisition purposes by dCDN) or related to events
      happening in the uCDN that are relevant to the dCDN.  This takes
      place within the uCDN and does not directly involve CDNI
      interfaces.

   o  communication by the uCDN to the dCDN of the Logging information
      collected by the uCDN relevant to the dCDN.  For example, the dCDN
      might potentially benefit from this information for security
      auditing or content acquisition troubleshooting.  This is outside
      the scope of this document and left for further study.

   Figure 1 provides an example of CDNI Logging interactions (focusing
   only on the interactions that are in the scope of this document) in a
   particular scenario where four CDNs are involved in the delivery of
   content from a given CSP: the uCDN has a CDNI interconnection with
   dCDN-1 and dCDN-2.  In turn, dCDN-2 has a CDNI interconnection with
   dCDN-3, where dCDN-2 is acting as an upstream CDN relative to dCDN-3.
   In this example, uCDN, dCDN-1, dCDN-2 and dCDN-3 all participate in
   the delivery of content for the CSP.  In this example, the CDNI
   Logging interface enables the uCDN to obtain Logging information from
   all the dCDNs involved in the delivery.  In the example, the uCDN
   uses the Logging information:

   o  to analyze the performance of the delivery performed by the dCDNs
      and to adjust its operations after the fact (e.g., request
      routing) as appropriate,

   o  to provide (non-real-time) reporting and monitoring information to
      the CSP.

   For instance, the uCDN merges Logging information, extracts relevant
   KPIs, and presents a formatted report to the CSP, in addition to a
   bill for the content delivered by uCDN itself or by its dCDNs on the
   CSP's behalf.  The uCDN may also provide Logging information as raw
   log files to the CSP, so that the CSP can use its own logging
   analysis tools.

   ===> CDNI Logging Interface
   ***> outside the scope of CDNI


          Figure 1: Interactions in CDNI Logging Reference Model

   A downstream CDN relative to uCDN (e.g., dCDN-2) integrates the
   relevant Logging information obtained from its own downstream CDNs
   (i.e., dCDN-3) in the Logging information that it provides to the
   uCDN, so that the uCDN ultimately obtains all Logging information
   relevant to a CSP for which it acts as the authoritative CDN.  Such
   aggregation is further discussed in Section 3.7.

   Note that the format of Logging information that a CDN provides over
   the CDNI interface might be different from the one that the CDN uses
   internally.  In this case, the CDN needs to reformat the Logging
   information before it provides this information to the other CDN over

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   the CDNI Logging interface.  Similarly, a CDN might reformat the
   Logging information that it receives over the CDNI Logging interface
   before injecting it into its log-consuming applications or before
   providing some of this Logging information to the CSP.  Such
   reformatting operations introduce latency in the logging distribution
   chain and introduce a processing burden.  Therefore, there are
   benefits in specifying CDNI Logging formats that are suitable for use
   inside CDNs and also are close to the intra-CDN Logging formats
   commonly used in CDNs today.

2.2.  Overall Logging Chain

   This section discusses the overall logging chain within and across
   CDNs to clarify how CDN Logging information is expected to fit in
   this overall chain.  Figure 2 illustrates the overall logging chain
   within the dCDN, across CDNs using the CDNI Logging interface and
   within the uCDN.  Note that the logging chain illustrated in the
   Figure is obviously only an example and varies depending on the
   specific environments.  For example, there may be more or fewer
   instantiations of each entity (e.g., there may be 4 Log consuming
   applications in a given CDN).  As another example, there may be one
   instance of Rectification process per Log Consuming Application
   instead of a shared one.

            Figure 2: CDNI Logging in the overall Logging Chain

   The following subsections describe each of the processes potentially
   involved in the logging chain of Figure 2.

2.2.1.  Logging Generation and During-Generation Aggregation

   CDNs typically generate Logging information for all significant task
   completions, events, and failures.  Logging information is typically
   generated by many devices in the CDN including the surrogates, the
   request routing system, and the control system.

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   The amount of Logging information generated can be huge.  Therefore,
   during contract negotiations, interconnected CDNs often agree on a
   retention duration for Logging information, and/or potentially on a
   maximum volume of Logging information that the dCDN ought to keep.
   If this volume is exceeded, the dCDN is expected to alert the uCDN
   but may not keep more Logging information for the considered time
   period.  In addition, CDNs may aggregate Logging information and
   transmit only summaries for some categories of operations instead of
   the full Logging information.  Note that such aggregation leads to an
   information loss, which may be problematic for some usages of the
   Logging information (e.g., debugging).

   [RFC6983] discusses logging for HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS).  In
   accordance with the recommendations articulated there, it is expected
   that a surrogate will generate separate Logging information for
   delivery of each chunk of HAS content.  This ensures that separate
   Logging information can then be provided to interconnected CDNs over
   the CDNI Logging interface.  Still in line with the recommendations
   of [RFC6983], the Logging information for per-chunk delivery may
   include some information (a Content Collection IDentifier and a
   Session IDentifier) intended to facilitate subsequent post-generation
   aggregation of per-chunk logs into per-session logs.  Note that a CDN
   may also elect to generate aggregate per-session logs when performing
   HAS delivery, but this needs to be in addition to, and not instead
   of, the per-chunk delivery logs.  We note that aggregate per-session
   logs for HAS delivery are for further study and outside the scope of
   this document.

2.2.2.  Logging Collection

   This is the process that continuously collects Logging information
   generated by the log-generating entities within a CDN.

   In a CDNI environment, in addition to collecting Logging information
   from log-generating entities within the local CDN, the Collection
   process also collects Logging information provided by another CDN, or
   other CDNs, through the CDNI Logging interface.  This is illustrated
   in Figure 2 where we see that the Collection process of the uCDN
   collects Logging information from log-generating entities within the
   uCDN as well as Logging information coming from the dCDNs through the
   CDNI Logging interface.

2.2.3.  Logging Filtering

   A CDN may be required to only present different subsets of the whole
   Logging information collected to various log-consuming applications.
   This is achieved by the Filtering process.




Le Faucheur, et al.     Expires November 26, 2016              [Page 10]

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   In particular, the Filtering process can also filter the right subset
   of Logging information that needs to be provided to a given
   interconnected CDN.  For example, the filtering process in the dCDN
   can be used to ensure that only the Logging information related to
   tasks performed on behalf of a given uCDN are made available to that
   uCDN (thereby filtering out all the Logging information related to
   deliveries by the dCDN of content for its own CSPs).  Similarly, the
   Filtering process may filter or partially mask some fields, for
   example, to protect End Users' privacy when communicating CDNI
   Logging information to another CDN.  Filtering of Logging information
   prior to communication of this information to other CDNs via the CDNI
   Logging interface requires that the downstream CDN can recognize the
   subset of Logging information that relate to each interconnected CDN.

   The CDN will also filter some internal scope information such as
   information related to its internal alarms (security, failures, load,
   etc).

   In some use cases described in [RFC6770], the interconnected CDNs do
   not want to disclose details on their internal topology.  The
   filtering process can then also filter confidential data on the
   dCDNs' topology (number of servers, location, etc.).  In particular,
   information about the requests served by each Surrogate may be
   confidential.  Therefore, the Logging information needs to be
   protected so that data such as Surrogates' hostnames are not
   disclosed to the uCDN.  In the "Inter-Affiliates Interconnection" use
   case, this information may be disclosed to the uCDN because both the
   dCDN and the uCDN are operated by entities of the same group.

2.2.4.  Logging Rectification and Post-Generation Aggregation

   If Logging information is generated periodically, it is important
   that the sessions that start in one Logging period and end in another
   are correctly reported.  If they are reported in the starting period,
   then the Logging information of this period will be available only
   after the end of the session, which delays the Logging information
   generation.  A simple approach is to provide the complete Logging
   Record for a session in the Logging Period of the session end.

   A Logging rectification/update mechanism could be useful to reach a
   good trade-off between the Logging information generation delay and
   the Logging information accuracy.

   In the presence of HAS, some log-consuming applications can benefit
   from aggregate per-session logs.  For example, for analytics, per-
   session logs allow display of session-related trends which are much
   more meaningful for some types of analysis than chunk-related trends.
   In the case where aggregate logs have been generated directly by the



Le Faucheur, et al.     Expires November 26, 2016              [Page 11]

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   log-generating entities, those can be used by the applications.  In
   the case where aggregate logs have not been generated, the
   Rectification process can be extended with a Post-Generation
   Aggregation process that generates per-session logs from the per-
   chunk logs, possibly leveraging the information included in the per-
   chunk logs for that purpose (Content Collection IDentifier and a
   Session IDentifier).  However, in accordance with [RFC6983], this
   document does not define exchange of such aggregate logs on the CDNI
   Logging interface.  We note that this is for further study and
   outside the scope of this document.

2.2.5.  Log-Consuming Applications

2.2.5.1.  Maintenance/Debugging

   Logging information is useful to permit the detection (and limit the
   risk) of content delivery failures.  In particular, Logging
   information facilitates the detection of configuration issues.

   To detect faults, Logging information needs to report success and
   failure of CDN delivery operations.  The uCDN can summarize such
   information into KPIs.  For instance, Logging information needs to
   allow the computation of the number of times, during a given time
   period, that content delivery related to a specific service succeeds/
   fails.

   Logging information enables the CDN providers to identify and
   troubleshoot performance degradations.  In particular, Logging
   information enables tracking of traffic data (e.g., the amount of
   traffic that has been forwarded by a dCDN on behalf of an uCDN over a
   given period of time), which is particularly useful for CDN and
   network planning operations.

   Some of these maintenance and debugging applications only require
   aggregate logging information highly compatible with use of
   anonymization of IP addresses (as supported by the present document
   and specified in the definition of the c-groupid field under
   Section 3.4.1).  However, in some situations, it may be useful, where
   compatible with privacy protection, to access some CDNI Logging
   Records containing full non-anonymized IP addresses.  This is allowed
   in the definition of the c-groupid (under Section 3.4.1), with very
   significant privacy protection limitations that are discussed in the
   definition of the c-groupid field.  For example, this may be useful
   for detailed fault tracking of a particular end user content delivery
   issue.  Where there is a hard requirement by uCDN or CSP to associate
   a given enduser to individual CDNI Logging Records (e.g., to allow
   a-posteriori analysis of individual delivery for example in
   situations of performance-based penalties), instead of using



Le Faucheur, et al.     Expires November 26, 2016              [Page 12]

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   aggregates containing a single client as discussed in the c-groupid
   field definition, an alternate approach is to ensure that a client
   identifier is embedded in the request fields that can be logged in a
   CDNI Logging Record (for example by including the client identifier
   in the URI query string or in a HTTP Header).  That latter approach
   offers two strong benefits: first, the aggregate inside the c-groupid
   can contain more than one client, thereby ensuring stronger privacy
   protection; second, it allows a reliable identification of the client
   while IP address does not in many situations (e.g., behind NAT, where
   dynamic IP addresses are used and reused,...).  However, care SHOULD
   be taken that the client identifiers exposed in other fields of the
   CDNI Records cannot themselves be linked back to actual users.

2.2.5.2.  Accounting

   Logging information is essential for accounting, to permit inter-CDN
   billing and CSP billing by uCDNs.  For instance, Logging information
   provided by dCDNs enables the uCDN to compute the total amount of
   traffic delivered by every dCDN for a particular Content Provider, as
   well as, the associated bandwidth usage (e.g., peak, 95th
   percentile), and the maximum number of simultaneous sessions over a
   given period of time.

2.2.5.3.  Analytics and Reporting

   The goals of analytics include gathering any relevant information in
   order to be able to develop statistics on content download, analyze
   user behavior, and monitor the performance and quality of content
   delivery.  For instance, Logging information enables the CDN
   providers to report on content consumption (e.g., delivered sessions
   per content) in a specific geographic area.

   The goal of reporting is to gather any relevant information to
   monitor the performance and quality of content delivery and allow
   detection of delivery issues.  For instance, reporting could track
   the average delivery throughput experienced by End Users in a given
   region for a specific CSP or content set over a period of time.

2.2.5.4.  Content Protection

   The goal of content protection is to prevent and monitor unauthorized
   access, misuse, modification, and denial of access to a content.  A
   set of information is logged in a CDN for security purposes.  In
   particular, a record of access to content is usually collected to
   permit the CSP to detect infringements of content delivery policies
   and other abnormal End User behaviors.

2.2.5.5.  Notions common to multiple Log Consuming Applications

2.2.5.5.1.  Logging Information Views

   Within a given log-consuming application, different views may be
   provided to different users depending on privacy, business, and
   scalability constraints.

   For example, an analytics tool run by the uCDN can provide one view
   to an uCDN operator that exploits all the Logging information
   available to the uCDN, while the tool may provide a different view to
   each CSP exploiting only the Logging information related to the
   content of the given CSP.

   As another example, maintenance and debugging tools may provide
   different views to different CDN operators, based on their
   operational role.

2.2.5.5.2.  Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

   This section presents, for explanatory purposes, a non-exhaustive
   list of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that can be extracted/
   produced from logs.

   Multiple log-consuming applications, such as analytics, monitoring,
   and maintenance applications, often compute and track such KPIs.

   In a CDNI environment, depending on the situation, these KPIs may be
   computed by the uCDN or by the dCDN.  But it is usually the uCDN that
   computes KPIs, because the uCDN and dCDN may have different
   definitions of the KPIs and the computation of some KPIs requires a
   vision of all the deliveries performed by the uCDN and all its dCDNs.

   Here is a list of important examples of KPIs:

   o  Number of delivery requests received from End Users in a given
      region for each piece of content, during a given period of time
      (e.g., hour/day/week/month)

   o  Percentage of delivery successes/failures among the aforementioned
      requests

   o  Number of failures listed by failure type (e.g., HTTP error code)
      for requests received from End Users in a given region and for
      each piece of content, during a given period of time (e.g.,
      hour/day/week/month)





Le Faucheur, et al.     Expires November 26, 2016              [Page 14]

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   o  Number and cause of premature delivery termination for End Users
      in a given region and for each piece of content, during a given
      period of time (e.g., hour/day/week/month)

   o  Maximum and mean number of simultaneous sessions established by
      End Users in a given region, for a given Content Provider, and
      during a given period of time (e.g., hour/day/week/month)

   o  Volume of traffic delivered for sessions established by End Users
      in a given region, for a given Content Provider, and during a
      given period of time (e.g., hour/day/week/month)

   o  Maximum, mean, and minimum delivery throughput for sessions
      established by End Users in a given region, for a given Content
      Provider, and during a given period of time (e.g., hour/day/week/
      month)

   o  Cache-hit and byte-hit ratios for requests received from End Users
      in a given region for each piece of content, during a given period
      of time (e.g., hour/day/week/month)

   o  Top 10 most popularly requested contents (during a given day/week/
      month)

   o  Terminal type (mobile, PC, STB, if this information can be
      acquired from the browser type inferred from the User Agent
      string, for example).

   Additional KPIs can be computed from other sources of information
   than the Logging information, for instance, data collected by a
   content portal or by specific client-side application programming
   interfaces.  Such KPIs are out of scope for the present document.

   The KPIs used depend strongly on the considered log-consuming
   application -- the CDN operator may be interested in different
   metrics than the CSP is.  In particular, CDN operators are often
   interested in delivery and acquisition performance KPIs, information
   related to Surrogates' performance, caching information to evaluate
   the cache-hit ratio, information about the delivered file size to
   compute the volume of content delivered during peak hour, etc.

   Some of the KPIs, for instance those providing an instantaneous
   vision of the active sessions for a given CSP's content, are useful
   essentially if they are provided in a timely manner.  By contrast,
   some other KPIs, such as those averaged on a long period of time, can
   be provided in non-real-time.

3.  CDNI Logging File

3.1.  Rules

   This specification uses the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF)
   notation and core rules of [RFC5234].  In particular, the present
   document uses the following rules from [RFC5234]:

      CR = %x0D ; carriage return

      ALPHA = %x41-5A / %x61-7A ; A-Z / a-z

      DIGIT = %x30-39 ; 0-9

      DQUOTE = %x22 ; " (Double Quote)

      CRLF = CR LF ; Internet standard newline

      HEXDIG = DIGIT / "A" / "B" / "C" / "D" / "E" / "F"

      HTAB = %x09 ; horizontal tab

      LF = %x0A ; linefeed

      VCHAR = %x21-7E ; visible (printing) characters

      OCTET = %x00-FF ; 8 bits of data

   The present document also uses the following rules from [RFC3986]:

      host = as specified in section 3.2.2 of [RFC3986].

      IPv4address = as specified in section 3.2.2 of [RFC3986].

      IPv6address = as specified in section 3.2.2 of [RFC3986].

      partial-time = as specified in [RFC3339].

   The present document also defines the following additional rules:

      ADDRESS = IPv4address / IPv6address

      ALPHANUM = ALPHA / DIGIT

      DATE = 4DIGIT "-" 2DIGIT "-" 2DIGIT

         ; Dates are encoded as "full-date" specified in [RFC3339].

      DEC = 1*DIGIT ["." 1*DIGIT]

      NAMEFORMAT = ALPHANUM *(ALPHANUM / "_" / "-")

      QSTRING = DQUOTE *(NDQUOTE / PCT-ENCODED) DQUOTE

      NDQUOTE = %x20-21 / %x23-24 / %x26-7E / UTF8-2 / UTF8-3 / UTF8-4

         ; whereby a DQUOTE is conveyed inside a QSTRING unambiguously
         by escaping it with PCT-ENCODED.

      PCT-ENCODED = "%" HEXDIG HEXDIG

         ; percent encoding is used for escaping octets that might be
         possible in HTTP headers such as bare CR, bare LF, CR LF, HTAB,
         SP or null.  These octets are rendered with percent encoding in
         ABNF as specified by [RFC3986] in order to avoid considering
         them as separators for the logging records.

      NHTABSTRING = 1*(SP / VCHAR)

      TIME = partial-time

      USER-COMMENT = * (SP / VCHAR / UTF8-2 / UTF8-3 / UTF8-4)

3.2.  CDNI Logging File Structure

   As defined in Section 1.1: a CDNI Logging Field is as an atomic
   logging information element, a CDNI Logging Record is a collection of
   CDNI Logging fields containing all logging information corresponding
   to a single logging event, and a CDNI Logging File contains a
   collection of CDNI Logging Records.  This structure is illustrated in
   Figure 3.  The use of a file structure for transfer of CDNI Logging
   information is selected since this is the most common practise today
   for exchange of logging information within and across CDNs.

                   Figure 3: Structure of Logging Files

   The CDNI Logging File format is inspired from the W3C Extended Log
   File Format [ELF].  However, it is fully specified by the present
   document.  Where the present document differs from the W3C Extended



Le Faucheur, et al.     Expires November 26, 2016              [Page 18]

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   Log File Format, an implementation of the CDNI Logging interface MUST
   comply with the present document.  The W3C Extended Log File Format
   was used as a starting point, reused where possible and expanded when
   necessary.

   Using a format that resembles the W3C Extended Log File Format is
   intended to keep CDNI logging format close to the intra-CDN Logging
   information format commonly used in CDNs today, thereby minimizing
   systematic translation at CDN/CDNI boundary.

   A CDNI Logging File MUST contain a sequence of lines containing US-
   ASCII characters [CHAR_SET] terminated by CRLF.  Each line of a CDNI
   Logging File MUST contain either a directive or a CDNI Logging
   Record.

   Directives record information about the CDNI Logging process itself.
   Lines containing directives MUST begin with the "#" character.
   Directives are specified in Section 3.3.

   Logging Records provide actual details of the logged event.  Logging
   Records are specified in Section 3.4.

   The CDNI Logging File has a specific structure.  It always starts
   with a directive line and the first directive it contains MUST be the
   version.

   The directive lines form together a group that contains at least one
   directive line.  Each directives group is followed by a group of
   logging records.  The records group contains zero or more actual
   logging record lines about the event being logged.  A record line
   consists of the values corresponding to all or a subset of the
   possible Logging fields defined within the scope of the record-type
   directive.  These values MUST appear in the order defined by the
   fields directive.

   Note that future extensions MUST be compliant with the previous
   description.  The following examples depict the structure of a

      CDNILOGFILE = 1*(DIRGROUP RECGROUP)

   All directive names and field names defined in the logging file are
   case-insensitive as per the basic ABNF([RFC5234]).

3.3.  CDNI Logging Directives

   A CDNI Logging directive line contains the directive name followed by
   ":" HTAB and the directive value.

   Directive names MUST be of the format NAMEFORMAT.  All directive
   names MUST be registered in the CDNI Logging Directives Names
   registry.  Unknown directives MUST be ignored.  Directive values can
   have various formats.  All possible directive values for the record-
   type "cdni_http_request_v1" are further detailed in this section.

   The following example shows the structure of a directive and
   enumerates strictly the directive values presently defined in the
   version "CDNI/1.0" of the CDNI Logging File.

      directive = DIRNAME ":" HTAB DIRVAL

      DIRNAME = NAMEFORMAT

      DIRVAL = NHTABSTRING / QSTRING / host / USER-COMMENT / FIENAME *
      (HTAB FIENAME) / 64HEXDIG

   An implementation of the CDNI Logging interface MUST support all of
   the following directives, listed below by their directive name:

   o  version:

      *  format: NHTABSTRING

      *  directive value: indicates the version of the CDNI Logging File
         format.  The entity transmitting a CDNI Logging File as per the
         present document MUST set the value to "CDNI/1.0".  In the
         future, other versions of CDNI Logging File might be specified;
         those would use a value different to "CDNI/1.0" allowing the
         entity receiving the CDNI Logging File to identify the
         corresponding version.

      *  occurrence: there MUST be one and only one instance of this
         directive per CDNI Logging File.  It MUST be the first line of
         the CDNI Logging File.

      *  example: "version: HTAB CDNI/1.0".

   o  UUID:

      *  format: NHTABSTRING

      *  directive value: this a Uniform Resource Name (URN) from the
         Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) URN namespace specified in
         [RFC4122]).  The UUID contained in the URN uniquely identifies
         the CDNI Logging File.

      *  occurrence: there MUST be one and only one instance of this
         directive per CDNI Logging File.

      *  example: "UUID: HTAB NHTABSTRING".

   o  claimed-origin:

      *  format: host

      *  directive value: this contains the claimed identification of
         the entity transmitting the CDNI Logging File (e.g., the host
         in a dCDN supporting the CDNI Logging interface) or the entity
         responsible for transmitting the CDNI Logging File (e.g., the
         dCDN).

      *  occurrence: there MUST be zero or exactly one instance of this
         directive per CDNI Logging File.  This directive MAY be
         included by the dCDN.  It MUST NOT be included or modified by
         the uCDN.

      *  example: "claimed-origin: HTAB host".

   o  established-origin:

      *  format: host

      *  directive value: this contains the identification, as
         established by the entity receiving the CDNI Logging File, of
         the entity transmitting the CDNI Logging File (e.g., the host
         in a dCDN supporting the CDNI Logging interface) or the entity
         responsible for transmitting the CDNI Logging File (e.g., the
         dCDN).

      *  occurrence: there MUST be zero or exactly one instance of this
         directive per CDNI Logging File.  This directive MAY be added
         by the uCDN (e.g., before storing the CDNI Logging File).  It
         MUST NOT be included by the dCDN.  The mechanisms used by the

         uCDN to establish and validate the entity responsible for the
         CDNI Logging File is outside the scope of the present document.
         We observe that, in particular, this may be achieved through
         authentication mechanisms that are part of the transport layer
         of the CDNI Logging File pull mechanism (Section 4.2).

      *  ABNF example: "established-origin: HTAB host".

   o  remark:

      *  format: USER-COMMENT

      *  directive value: this contains comment information.  Data
         contained in this field is to be ignored by analysis tools.

      *  occurrence: there MAY be zero, one or any number of instance of
         this directive per CDNI Logging File.

      *  example: "remark: HTAB USER-COMMENT".

   o  record-type:

      *  format: NAMEFORMAT

      *  directive value: indicates the type of the CDNI Logging Records
         that follow this directive, until another record-type directive
         (or the end of the CDNI Logging File).  This can be any CDNI
         Logging Record type registered in the CDNI Logging Record-types
         registry (Section 6.3).  For example this may be
         "cdni_http_request_v1" as specified in Section 3.4.1.

      *  occurrence: there MUST be at least one instance of this
         directive per CDNI Logging File.  The first instance of this
         directive MUST precede a fields directive and MUST precede all
         CDNI Logging Records.

      *  example: "record-type: HTAB cdni_http_request_v1".

   o  fields:

      *  format: FIENAME *(HTAB FIENAME) ; where FIENAME can take any
         CDNI Logging field name registered in the CDNI Logging Field
         Names registry (Section 6.4) that is valid for the record type
         specified in the record-type directive.

      *  directive value: this lists the names of all the fields for
         which a value is to appear in the CDNI Logging Records that
         follow the instance of this directive (until another instance

         of this directive).  The names of the fields, as well as their
         occurrences, MUST comply with the corresponding rules specified
         in the document referenced in the CDNI Logging Record-types
         registry (Section 6.3) for the corresponding CDNI Logging
         record-type.

      *  occurrence: there MUST be at least one instance of this
         directive per record-type directive.  The first instance of
         this directive for a given record-type MUST appear before any
         CDNI Logging Record for this record-type.  One situation where
         more than one instance of the fields directive can appear
         within a given CDNI Logging File, is when there is a change, in
         the middle of a fairly large logging period, in the agreement
         between the uCDN and the dCDN about the set of fields that are
         to be exchanged.  The multiple occurrences allow records with
         the old set of fields and records with the new set of fields to
         be carried inside the same Logging File.

      *  example: "fields: HTAB FIENAME * (HTAB FIENAME)".

   o  SHA256-hash:

      *  format: 64HEXDIG

      *  directive value: This directive permits the detection of a
         corrupted CDNI Logging File.  This can be useful, for instance,
         if a problem occurs on the filesystem of the dCDN Logging
         system and leads to a truncation of a logging file.  The valid
         SHA256-hash value is included in this directive by the entity
         that transmits the CDNI Logging File.  It MUST be computed by
         applying the SHA-256 ([RFC6234]) cryptographic hash function on
         the CDNI Logging File, including all the directives and logging
         records, up to the SHA256-hash directive itself, excluding the
         SHA256-hash directive itself.  The SHA256-hash value MUST be
         represented as a US-ASCII encoded hexadecimal number, 64 digits
         long (representing a 256 bit hash value).  The entity receiving
         the CDNI Logging File also computes in a similar way the
         SHA-256 hash on the received CDNI Logging File and compares
         this hash to the value of the SHA256-hash directive.  If the
         two values are equal, then the received CDNI Logging File is to
         be considered non-corrupted.  If the two values are different,
         the received CDNI Logging File is to be considered corrupted.
         The behavior of the entity that received a corrupted CDNI
         Logging File is outside the scope of this specification; we
         note that the entity MAY attempt to pull again the same CDNI
         Logging File from the transmitting entity.  If the entity
         receiving a non-corrupted CDNI Logging File adds an
         established-origin directive, it MUST then recompute and update

         the SHA256-hash directive so it also protects the added
         established-origin directive.

      *  occurrence: there MUST be zero or exactly one instance of this
         directive.  There SHOULD be exactly one instance of this
         directive.  One situation where that directive could be omitted
         is where integrity protection is already provided via another
         mechanism (for example if an integrity hash is associated to
         the CDNI Logging File out-of-band through the CDNI Logging Feed
         ( Section 4.1) leveraging ATOM extensions such as those
         proposed in [I-D.snell-atompub-link-extensions].  When present,
         the SHA256-hash field MUST be the last line of the CDNI Logging
         File.

      *  example: "SHA256-hash: HTAB 64HEXDIG".

   An uCDN-side implementation of the CDNI Logging interface MUST reject
   a CDNI Logging File that does not comply with the occurrences
   specified above for each and every directive.  For example, an uCDN-
   side implementation of the CDNI Logging interface receiving a CDNI
   Logging file with zero occurrence of the version directive, or with
   two occurrences of the SHA256-hash, MUST reject this CDNI Logging
   File.

   An entity receiving a CDNI Logging File with a value set to
   "CDNI/1.0" MUST process the CDNI Logging File as per the present
   document.  An entity receiving a CDNI Logging File with a value set
   to a different value MUST process the CDNI Logging File as per the
   specification referenced in the CDNI Logging File version registry
   (see Section 6.1) if the implementation supports this specification
   and MUST reject the CDNI Logging File otherwise.

3.4.  CDNI Logging Records

   A CDNI Logging Record consists of a sequence of CDNI Logging fields
   relating to that single CDNI Logging Record.

   CDNI Logging fields MUST be separated by the "horizontal tabulation
   (HTAB)" character.

   To facilitate readability, a prefix scheme is used for CDNI Logging
   field names in a similar way to the one used in W3C Extended Log File
   Format [ELF].  The semantics of the prefix in the present document
   is:

   o  "c-" refers to the User Agent that issues the request (corresponds
      to the "client" of W3C Extended Log Format)




Le Faucheur, et al.     Expires November 26, 2016              [Page 24]

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   o  "d-" refers to the dCDN (relative to a given CDN acting as an
      uCDN)

   o  "s-" refers to the dCDN Surrogate that serves the request
      (corresponds to the "server" of W3C Extended Log Format)

   o  "u-" refers to the uCDN (relative to a given CDN acting as a dCDN)

   o  "cs-" refers to communication from the User Agent towards the dCDN
      Surrogate

   o  "sc-" refers to communication from the dCDN Surrogate towards the
      User Agent

   An implementation of the CDNI Logging interface as per the present
   specification MUST support the CDNI HTTP Request Logging Record as
   specified in Section 3.4.1.

   A CDNI Logging Record contains the corresponding values for the
   fields that are enumerated in the last fields directive before the
   current log line.  Note that the order in which the field values
   appear is dictated by the order of the fields names in the fields
   directive.  There SHOULD be no dependency between the various fields
   values.

3.4.1.  HTTP Request Logging Record

   This section defines the CDNI Logging Record of record-type
   "cdni_http_request_v1".  It is applicable to content delivery
   performed by the dCDN using HTTP/1.0([RFC1945]),
   HTTP/1.1([RFC7230],[RFC7231], [RFC7232], [RFC7233], [RFC7234],
   [RFC7235]) or HTTPS ([RFC2818], [RFC7230]).  We observe that, in the
   case of HTTPS delivery, there may be value in logging additional
   information specific to the operation of HTTP over TLS and we note
   that this is outside the scope of the present document and may be
   addressed in a future document defining another CDNI Logging Record
   or another version of the HTTP Request Logging Record.

   The "cdni_http_request_v1" record-type is also expected to be
   applicable to HTTP/2 [RFC7540] since a fundamental design tenet of
   HTTP/2 is to preserve the HTTP/1.1 semantics.  We observe that, in
   the case of HTTP/2 delivery, there may be value in logging additional
   information specific to the additional functionality of HTTP/2 (e.g.,
   information related to connection identification, to stream
   identification, to stream priority and to flow control).  We note
   that such additional information is outside the scope of the present
   document and may be addressed in a future document defining another

   CDNI Logging Record or another version of the HTTP Request Logging
   Record.

   The "cdni_http_request_v1" record-type contains the following CDNI
   Logging fields, listed by their field name:

   o  date:

      *  format: DATE

      *  field value: the date at which the processing of request
         completed on the Surrogate.

      *  occurrence: there MUST be one and only one instance of this
         field.

   o  time:

      *  format: TIME

      *  field value: the time, which MUST be expressed in Coordinated
         Universal Time (UTC), at which the processing of request
         completed on the Surrogate.

      *  occurrence: there MUST be one and only one instance of this
         field.

   o  time-taken:

      *  format: DEC

      *  field value: decimal value of the duration, in seconds, between
         the start of the processing of the request and the completion
         of the request processing (e.g., completion of delivery) by the
         Surrogate.

      *  occurrence: there MUST be one and only one instance of this
         field.

   o  c-groupid:

      *  format: NHTABSTRING

      *  field value: an opaque identifier for an aggregate set of
         clients, derived from the client IPv4 or IPv6 address in the
         request received by the Surrogate and/or other network-level
         identifying information.  The c-groupid serves to group clients
         into aggregates.  Example aggregates include civil geolocation

         information (the country, second-level administrative division,
         or postal code from which the client is presumed to make the
         request based on a geolocation database lookup) or network
         topological information (e.g., the BGP AS number announcing the
         prefix containing the address).  The c-groupid MAY be
         structured e.g., US/TN/MEM/38138.  Agreement between the dCDN
         and the uCDN on a mapping between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and
         aggregates is presumed to occur out-of-band.  The aggregation
         mapping SHOULD be chosen such that each aggregate contains more
         than one client.

         +  When the aggregate is chosen so that it contains a single
            client (e.g., to allow more detailed analytics, or to allow
            a-posteriori analysis of individual delivery for example in
            situations of performance-based penalties) the c-groupid MAY
            be structured where some elements identify aggregates and
            one element identifies the client, e.g., US/TN/
            MEM/38138/43a5bdd6-95c4-4d62-be65-7410df0021e2.  In that
            case:

            -  the element identifying the client SHOULD be
               algorithmically generated (from the client IPv4 or IPv6
               address in the request received by the Surrogate and/or
               other network-level identifying information) in a way
               that SHOULD NOT be linkable back to the global addressing
               context and that SHOULD vary over time (to offer
               protection against long term attacks).

            -  It is RECOMMENDED that the mapping varies at least once
               every 24 hours.

            -  The algorithmic mapping and variation over time MAY allow
               the uCDN (with the knowledge of the algorithm and time
               variation and associated attributes and keys) to
               reconstruct the actual client IPv4 or IPv6 address and/or
               other network-level identifying information when required
               (e.g., to allow a-posteriori analysis of individual
               delivery for example in situations of performance-based
               penalties).  However, these enduser addresses SHOULD only
               be reconstructed on-demand and the CDNI Logging File
               SHOULD only be stored with the anonymised c-groupid
               value.

            -  Allowing reconstruction of client address information
               carries with it grave risks to end-user privacy.  Since
               the c-groupid is in this case equivalent in
               identification power to a client IP address, its use may
               be restricted by regulation or law as personally

               identifiable information.  For this reason, such use is
               NOT RECOMMENDED.

            -  One method for mapping that MAY be be supported by
               implementations relies on a symmetric key that is known
               only to the uCDN and dCDN and HMAC-based Extract-and-
               Expand Key Derivation Function (HKDF) key derivation
               ([RFC5869]), as will be used in TLS 1.3
               ([I-D.ietf-tls-rfc5246-bis]).  When that method is used:

               o  The uCDN and dCDN need to agree on the "salt" and
                  "input keying material", as described in Section 2.2
                  of [RFC5869] and the initial "info" parameter (which
                  could be something like the business names of the two
                  organizations in UTF-8, concatenated), as described in
                  Section 2.3 of [RFC5869].  The hash SHOULD be either
                  SHA-2 or SHA-3 [SHA-3] and the encryption algorithm
                  SHOULD be 128-bit AES [AES] in Galois Counter Mode
                  (GCM) [GCM] (AES-GCM) or better.  The PRK SHOULD be
                  chosen by both parties contributing alternate random
                  bytes until sufficient length exists.  After the
                  initial setup, client-information can be encrypted
                  using the key generated by the "expand" step of
                  Section 2.3 of [RFC5869].  The encrypted value SHOULD
                  be hex encoded or base64 encoded (as specified in
                  section 4 of [RFC4648]).  At the agreed-upon
                  expiration time, a new key SHOULD be generated and
                  used.  New keys SHOULD be indicated by prefixing the
                  key with a special character such as exclamation
                  point.  In this way, shorter lifetimes can be used as
                  needed.

      *  occurrence: there MUST be one and only one instance of this
         field.

   o  s-ip:

      *  format: ADDRESS

      *  field value: the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the Surrogate that
         served the request (i.e., the "server" address).

      *  occurrence: there MUST be zero or exactly one instance of this
         field.

         field.

   o  cs-method:

         received by the Surrogate as specified in [RFC7230].  It
         complies with the "http" URI scheme or the "https" URI scheme
         as specified in [RFC7230]).  Note that cs-uri can be privacy

         generating or transmitting the CDNI Logging Record, in a way
         that is agreed upon between the two ends of the CDNI Logging
         interface, so the transformed URI is meaningful to the uCDN.
         For example, the two ends of the CDNI Logging interface could
         agree that the u-uri is constructed from the cs-uri by removing
         the part of the hostname that exposes which individual
         Surrogate actually performed the delivery.  The details of
         modification performed to generate the u-uri, as well as the
         mechanism to agree on these modifications between the two sides
         of the CDNI Logging interface are outside the scope of the
         present document.

         field.

   o  protocol:

      *  format: NHTABSTRING

      *  field value: this is value of the HTTP-Version field as
         specified in [RFC7230] of the Request-Line of the request
         received by the Surrogate (e.g., "HTTP/1.1").

      *  occurrence: there MUST be one and only one instance of this
         field.

   o  sc-status:

      *  format: 3DIGIT

      *  field value: this is the Status-Code in the response from the
         Surrogate.  In the case of HTTP delivery, this is the HTTP
         Status-Code in the HTTP response.

      *  occurrence: There MUST be one and only one instance of this
         field.

   o  sc-total-bytes:

      *  format: 1*DIGIT

      *  field value: this is the total number of bytes of the response
         sent by the Surrogate in response to the request.  In the case
         of HTTP delivery, this includes the bytes of the Status-Line,
         the bytes of the HTTP headers and the bytes of the message-
         body.

         field.

      *  field value: this is the number of bytes of the message-body in
         the HTTP response sent by the Surrogate in response to the
         request.  This does not include the bytes of the Status-Line or
         the bytes of the HTTP headers.

      *  occurrence: there MUST be zero or exactly one instance of this
         field.

   o  cs(insert_HTTP_header_name_here):

      *  format: QSTRING

      *  field value: the value of the HTTP header (identified by the
         insert_HTTP_header_name_here in the CDNI Logging field name) as
         it appears in the request processed by the Surrogate, but
         prepended by a DQUOTE and appended by a DQUOTE.  For example,
         when the CDNI Logging field name (FIENAME) listed in the
         preceding fields directive is cs(User-Agent), this CDNI Logging
         field value contains the value of the User-Agent HTTP header as
         received by the Surrogate in the request it processed, but
         prepended by a DQUOTE and appended by a DQUOTE.  If the HTTP
         header as it appeared in the request processed by the Surrogate
         contains one or more DQUOTE, each DQUOTE MUST be escaped with
         percent encoding.  For example, if the HTTP header contains
         My_Header"value", then the field value of the
         cs(insert_HTTP_header_name_here) is "My_Header%x22value%x22".
         The entity transmitting the CDNI Logging File MUST ensure that
         the respective insert_HTTP_header_name_here of the
         cs(insert_HTTP_header_name_here) listed in the fields directive
         comply with HTTP specifications.  In particular, this field
         name does not include any HTAB, since this would prevent proper
         parsing of the fields directive by the entity receiving the

         request, but prepended by a DQUOTE and appended by a DQUOTE.
         If the HTTP header as it appeared in the request processed by
         the Surrogate contains one or more DQUOTE, each DQUOTE MUST be

         by a DQUOTE.  If the CCID conveyed in the CDNI Metadata
         interface contains one or more DQUOTE, each DQUOTE MUST be

      *  format: 1DIGIT

      *  field value: this characterises whether the Surrogate served
         the request using content already stored on its local cache or
         not.  The allowed values are "0" (for miss) and "1" (for hit).
         "1" MUST be used when the Surrogate did serve the request using
         exclusively content already stored on its local cache. "0" MUST
         be used otherwise (including cases where the Surrogate served
         the request using some, but not all, content already stored on
         its local cache).  Note that a "0" only means a cache miss in
         the Surrogate and does not provide any information on whether
         the content was already stored, or not, in another device of
         the dCDN, i.e., whether this was a "dCDN hit" or "dCDN miss".

      *  occurrence: there MUST be zero or exactly one instance of this
         field.

   The "fields" directive corresponding to a HTTP Request Logging Record
   MUST contain all the fields names whose occurrence is specified above
   as "There MUST be one and only one instance of this field".  The
   corresponding fields value MUST be present in every HTTP Request
   Logging Record.

   The "fields" directive corresponding to a HTTP Request Logging Record
   MAY list all the fields value whose occurrence is specified above as
   "there MUST be zero or exactly one instance of this field" or "there

   of such field names actually listed in the "fields" directive is
   selected by the CDN generating the CDNI Logging File based on
   agreements between the interconnected CDNs established through
   mechanisms outside the scope of this specification (e.g., contractual
   agreements).  When such a field name is not listed in the "fields"
   directive, the corresponding field value MUST NOT be included in the
   Logging Record.  When such a field name is listed in the "fields"

   directive, the corresponding field value MUST be included in the
   Logging Record; if the value for the field is not available, this
   MUST be conveyed via a dash character ("-").

   The fields names listed in the "fields" directive MAY be listed in
   the order in which they are listed in Section 3.4.1 or MAY be listed
   in any other order.

   Logging some specific fields from HTTP requests and responses can
   introduce serious security and privacy risks.  For example, cookies
   will often contain (months) long lived token values that can be used
   to log into a service as the relevant user.  Similar values may be
   included in other header fields or within URLs or elsewhere in HTTP
   requests and responses.  Centralising such values in a CDNI Logging
   File can therefore represent a significant increase in risk both for
   the user and the web service provider, but also for the CDNs
   involved.  Implementations ought therefore to attempt to lower the
   probability of such bad outcomes e.g. by only allowing a configured
   set of headers to be added to CDNI Logging Records, or by not
   supporting wildcard selection of HTTP request/response fields to add.
   Such mechanisms can reduce the probability that security (or privacy)
   sensitive values are centralised in CDNI Logging Files.  Also, when
   agreeing on which HTTP request/response fields are to be provided in
   CDNI Logging Files, the uCDN and dCDN administrators ought to
   consider these risks.  Furthermore, CDNs making use of c-groupid to
   identify an aggregate of clients rather than individual clients ought
   to realize that by logging certain header fields they may create the
   possibility to re-identify individual clients.  In these cases
   heeding the above advice, or not logging header fields at all, is
   particularly important if the goal is to provide logs that do not
   identify individual clients."

   A dCDN-side implementation of the CDNI Logging interface MUST
   implement all the following Logging fields in a CDNI Logging Record
   of record-type "cdni_http_request_v1", and MUST support the ability
   to include valid values for each of them:

   o  date

   o  time

   o  time-taken

   o  c-groupid

   o  s-ip

   o  s-hostname

   o  sc-entity-bytes

   o  cs(insert_HTTP_header_name_here)

   o  sc(insert_HTTP_header_name_here)

   o  s-cached

   A dCDN-side implementation of the CDNI Logging interface MAY support
   the following Logging fields in a CDNI Logging Record of record-type
   "cdni_http_request_v1":

   o  s-ccid

   o  s-sid

   If a dCDN-side implementation of the CDNI Logging interface supports
   these fields, it MUST support the ability to include valid values for
   them.

   An uCDN-side implementation of the CDNI Logging interface MUST be
   able to accept CDNI Logging Files with CDNI Logging Records of
   record-type "cdni_http_request_v1" containing any CDNI Logging Field
   defined in Section 3.4.1 as long as the CDNI Logging Record and the
   CDNI Logging File are compliant with the present document.

   In case an uCDN-side implementation of the CDNI Logging interface
   receives a CDNI Logging File with HTTP Request Logging Records that
   do not contain field values for exactly the set of field names
   actually listed in the preceding "fields" directive, the
   implementation MUST reject those HTTP Request Logging Records, and
   MUST accept the other HTTP Request Logging Records.

   To ensure that the logging file is correct, the text MUST be
   sanitized before being logged.  Null, bare CR, bare LF and HTAB have
   to be removed by escaping them through percent encoding to avoid
   confusion with the logging record separators.

3.5.  CDNI Logging File Extension

   The CDNI Logging File contains blocks of directives and blocks of
   corresponding records.  The supported set of directives is defined
   relative to the CDNI Logging File Format version.  The complete set
   of directives for version "CDNI/1.0" are defined in Section 3.3.  The
   directive list is not expected to require much extension, but when it
   does, the new directive MUST be defined and registered in the "CDNI
   Logging Directive Names" registry, as described in Figure 9, and a
   new version MUST be defined and registered in the "CDNI Logging File
   version" registry, as described in Section 6.2.  For example, adding
   a new CDNI Logging Directive, e.g., "foo", to the set of directives
   defined for "CDNI/1.0" in Section 3.3, would require registering both
   the new CDNI Logging Directive "foo" and a new CDNI Logging File
   version, e.g., "CDNI/2.0", which includes all of the existing CDNI
   Logging Directives of "CDNI/1.0" plus "foo".

   It is expected that as new logging requirements arise, the list of
   fields to log will change and expand.  When adding new fields, the
   new fields MUST be defined and registered in the "CDNI Logging Field
   Names" registry, as described in Section 6.4, and a new record-type
   MUST be defined and registered in the "CDNI Logging record-types"
   registry, as described in Section 6.3.  For example, adding a new
   CDNI Logging Field, e.g., "c-bar", to the set of fields defined for
   "cdni_http_request_v1" in Section 3.4.1, would require registering
   both the new CDNI Logging Field "c-bar" and a new CDNI record-type,
   e.g., "cdni_http_request_v2", which includes all of the existing CDNI
   Logging Fields of "cdni_http_request_v1" plus "c-bar".

3.6.  CDNI Logging File Examples

   Let us consider the upstream CDN and the downstream CDN labelled uCDN
   and dCDN-1 in Figure 1.  When dCDN-1 acts as a downstream CDN for
   uCDN and performs content delivery on behalf of uCDN, dCDN-1 will
   include the CDNI Logging Records corresponding to the content
   deliveries performed on behalf of uCDN in the CDNI Logging Files for
   uCDN.  An example CDNI Logging File communicated by dCDN-1 to uCDN is
   shown below in Figure 4.

   If uCDN establishes by some means (e.g., via TLS authentication when
   pulling the CDNI Logging File) the identity of the entity from which
   it pulled the CDNI Logging File, uCDN can add to the CDNI Logging an
   established-origin directive as illustrated below:

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   As illustrated in Figure 2, uCDN will then ingest the corresponding
   CDNI Logging Records into its Collection process, alongside the
   Logging Records generated locally by the uCDN itself.  This allows
   uCDN to aggregate Logging Records for deliveries performed by itself
   (through Records generated locally) as well as for deliveries
   performed by its downstream CDN(s).  This aggregate information can
   then be used (after Filtering and Rectification, as illustrated in
   Figure 2) by Log Consuming Applications that take into account
   deliveries performed by uCDN as well as by all of its downstream
   CDNs.

   We observe that the time between

   1.  when a delivery is completed in dCDN and

   2.  when the corresponding Logging Record is ingested by the
       Collection process in uCDN

   depends on a number of parameters such as the Logging Period agreed
   to by uCDN and dCDN, how much time uCDN waits before pulling the CDNI
   Logging File once it is advertised in the CDNI Logging Feed, and the
   time to complete the pull of the CDNI Logging File.  Therefore, if we
   consider the set of Logging Records aggregated by the Collection
   process in uCDN in a given time interval, there could be a permanent
   significant timing difference between the CDNI Logging Records
   received from the dCDN and the Logging Records generated locally.
   For example, in a given time interval, the Collection process in uCDN
   may be aggregating Logging Records generated locally by uCDN for
   deliveries performed in the last hour and CDNI Logging Records
   generated in the dCDN for deliveries in the hour before last.

   Say, that for some reason (for example a Surrogate bug), dCDN-1 could
   not collect the total number of bytes of the responses sent by the
   Surrogate (in other words, the value for sc-total-bytes is not
   available).  Then the corresponding CDNI Logging records would
   contain a dash character ("-") in lieu of the value for the sc-total-
   bytes field (as specified in Section 3.4.1).  In that case, the CDNI
   Logging File that would be communicated by dCDN-1 to uCDN is shown
   below in Figure 5.

3.7.  Cascaded CDNI Logging Files Example

   Let us consider the cascaded CDN scenario of uCDN, dCDN-2 and dCDN-3
   as depicted in Figure 1.  After completion of a delivery by dCDN-3 on
   behalf of dCDN-2, dCDN-3 will include a corresponding Logging Record
   in a CDNI Logging File that will be pulled by dCDN-2 and that is
   illustrated below in Figure 6.  In practice, a CDNI Logging File is

   likely to contain a very high number of CDNI Logging Records.
   However, for readability, the example in Figure 6 contains a single
   CDNI Logging Record.

   If dCDN-2 establishes by some means (e.g., via TLS authentication
   when pulling the CDNI Logging File) the identity of the entity from
   which it pulled the CDNI Logging File, dCDN-2 can add to the CDNI
   Logging an established-origin directive as illustrated below:

   #established-origin:<HTAB>cdni-logging-entity.dcdn-
   3.example.com<CRLF>

   dCDN-2 (behaving as an upstream CDN from the viewpoint of dCDN-3)
   will then ingest the CDNI Logging Record for the considered dCDN-3
   delivery into its Collection process (as illustrated in Figure 2).
   This Logging Record may be aggregated with Logging Records generated
   locally by dCDN-2 for deliveries performed by dCDN-2 itself.  Say,
   for illustration, that the content delivery performed by dCDN-3 on
   behalf of dCDN-2 had actually been redirected to dCDN-2 by uCDN, and
   say that another content delivery has just been redirected by uCDN to
   dCDN-2 and that dCDN-2 elected to perform the corresponding delivery
   itself.  Then after Filtering and Rectification (as illustrated in
   Figure 2), dCDN-2 will include the two Logging Records corresponding

   respectively to the delivery performed by dCDN-3 and the delivery
   performed by dCDN-2, in the next CDNI Logging File that will be

   o  the first Logging Record corresponds to the Logging Record
      communicated earlier to dCDN-2 by dCDN-3, which corresponds to a
      delivery redirected by uCDN to dCDN-2 and then redirected by
      dCDN-2 to dCDN-3.  The fields values in this Logging Record are
      copied from the corresponding CDNI Logging REcord communicated to
      dCDN2 by dCDN-3, with the exception of the u-uri that now reflects
      the URI convention between uCDN and dCDN-2 and that presents the
      delivery to uCDN as if it was performed by dCDN-2 itself.  This
      reflects the fact that dCDN-2 had taken the full responsibility of
      the corresponding delivery (even if in this case, dCDN-2 elected
      to redirect the delivery to dCDN-3 so it is actually performed by
      dCDN-3 on behalf of dCDN-2).

   o  the second Logging Record corresponds to a delivery redirected by
      uCDN to dCDN-2 and performed by dCDN-2 itself.  The time of the
      delivery in this Logging Record may be significantly more recent
      than the first Logging Record since it was generated locally while
      the first Logging Record was generated by dCDN-3 and had to be
      advertised , and then pulled and then ingested into the dCDN-2
      Collection process, before being aggregated with the second
      Logging Record.

4.  Protocol for Exchange of CDNI Logging File After Full Collection

   This section specifies a protocol for the exchange of CDNI Logging
   Files as specified in Section 3 after the CDNI Logging File is fully
   collected by the dCDN.

   This protocol comprises:

   o  a CDNI Logging feed, allowing the dCDN to notify the uCDN about
      the CDNI Logging Files that can be retrieved by that uCDN from the
      dCDN, as well as all the information necessary for retrieving each
      of these CDNI Logging Files.  The CDNI Logging feed is specified
      in Section 4.1.

   o  a CDNI Logging File pull mechanism, allowing the uCDN to obtain
      from the dCDN a given CDNI Logging File at the uCDN's convenience.
      The CDNI Logging File pull mechanisms is specified in Section 4.2.

   An implementation of the CDNI Logging interface on the dCDN side (the
   entity generating the CDNI Logging file) MUST support the server side
   of the CDNI Logging feed (as specified in Section 4.1) and the server
   side of the CDNI Logging pull mechanism (as specified in
   Section 4.2).

   An implementation of the CDNI Logging interface on the uCDN side (the
   entity consuming the CDNI Logging file) MUST support the client side



Le Faucheur, et al.     Expires November 26, 2016              [Page 42]

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   of the CDNI Logging feed (as specified in Section 4.1) and the client
   side of the CDNI Logging pull mechanism (as specified in
   Section 4.2).

4.1.  CDNI Logging Feed

   The server-side implementation of the CDNI Logging feed MUST produce
   an Atom feed [RFC4287].  This feed is used to advertise log files
   that are available for the client-side to retrieve using the CDNI
   Logging pull mechanism.

4.1.1.  Atom Formatting

   A CDNI Logging feed MUST be structured as an Archived feed, as
   defined in [RFC5005], and MUST be formatted in Atom [RFC4287].  This
   means it consists of a subscription document that is regularly
   updated as new CDNI Logging Files become available, and information
   about older CDNI Logging files is moved into archive documents.  Once
   created, archive documents are never modified.

   Each CDNI Logging File listed in an Atom feed MUST be described in an
   atom:entry container element.

   The atom:entry MUST contain an atom:content element whose "src"
   attribute is a link to the CDNI Logging File and whose "type"
   attribute is the MIME Media Type indicating that the entry is a CDNI
   logging file.  This MIME Media Type is defined as "application/cdni"
   (See [RFC7736]) with the Payload Type (ptype) parameter set to
   "logging-file".

   For compatibility with some Atom feed readers the atom:entry MAY also
   contain an atom:link entry whose "href" attribute is a link to the
   CDNI Logging File and whose "type" attribute is the MIME Media Type
   indicating that the entry is a CDNI Logging File using the
   "application/cdni" MIME Media Type with the Payload Type (ptype)
   parameter set to "logging-file"(See [RFC7736]).

   The URI used in the atom:id of the atom:entry MUST contain the UUID
   of the CDNI Logging File.

   The atom:updated in the atom:entry MUST indicate the time at which
   the CDNI Logging File was last updated.

4.1.2.  Updates to Log Files and the Feed

   CDNI Logging Files MUST NOT be modified by the dCDN once published in
   the CDNI Logging feed.

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   The frequency with which the subscription feed is updated, the period
   of time covered by each CDNI Logging File or each archive document,
   and timeliness of publishing of CDNI Logging Files are outside the
   scope of the present document and are expected to be agreed upon by
   uCDN and dCDN via other means (e.g., human agreement).

   The server-side implementation MUST be able to set, and SHOULD set,
   HTTP cache control headers on the subscription feed to indicate the
   frequency at which the client-side is to poll for updates.

   The client-side MAY use HTTP cache control headers (set by the
   server-side) on the subscription feed to determine the frequency at
   which to poll for updates.  The client-side MAY instead, or in
   addition, use other information to determine when to poll for updates
   (e.g., a polling frequency that may have been negotiated between the
   uCDN and dCDN by mechanisms outside the scope of the present document
   and that is to override the indications provided in the HTTP cache
   control headers).

   The potential retention limits (e.g., sliding time window) within
   which the dCDN is to retain and be ready to serve an archive document
   is outside the scope of the present document and is expected to be
   agreed upon by uCDN and dCDN via other means (e.g., human agreement).
   The server-side implementation MUST retain, and be ready to serve,
   any archive document within the agreed retention limits.  Outside
   these agreed limits, the server-side implementation MAY indicate its
   inability to serve (e.g., with HTTP status code 404) an archive
   document or MAY refuse to serve it (e.g., with HTTP status code 403
   or 410).

4.1.3.  Redundant Feeds

   The server-side implementation MAY present more than one CDNI Logging
   feed for redundancy.  Each CDNI Logging File MAY be published in more
   than one feed.

   A client-side implementation MAY support such redundant CDNI Logging
   feeds.  If it supports redundant CDNI Logging feed, the client-side
   can use the UUID of the CDNI Logging File, presented in the atom:id
   element of the Atom feed, to avoid unnecessarily pulling and storing
   a given CDNI Logging File more than once.

4.1.4.  Example CDNI Logging Feed

   Figure 8 illustrates an example of the subscription document of a
   CDNI Logging feed.

4.2.  CDNI Logging File Pull

   A client-side implementation of the CDNI Logging interface MAY pull,
   at its convenience, a CDNI Logging File that is published by the
   server-side in the CDNI Logging Feed (in the subscription document or
   an archive document).  To do so, the client-side:

   o  MUST implement HTTP/1.1 ([RFC7230],[RFC7231], [RFC7232],
      [RFC7233], [RFC7234], [RFC7235]), MAY also support other HTTP
      versions (e.g., HTTP/2 [RFC7540]) and MAY negotiate which HTTP
      version is actually used.  This allows operators and implementers
      to choose to use later versions of HTTP to take advantage of new
      features, while still ensuring interoperability with systems that
      only support HTTP/1.1.

   o  MUST use the URI that was associated to the CDNI Logging File
      (within the "src" attribute of the corresponding atom:content
      element) in the CDNI Logging Feed;

   o  MUST support exchange of CDNI Logging Files with no content
      encoding applied to the representation;

   o  MUST support exchange of CDNI Logging Files with "gzip" content
      encoding (as defined in [RFC7230]) applied to the representation.

   Note that a client-side implementation of the CDNI Logging interface
   MAY pull a CDNI Logging File that it has already pulled.

   The server-side implementation MUST respond to valid pull request by
   a client-side implementation for a CDNI Logging File published by the
   server-side in the CDNI Logging Feed (in the subscription document or
   an archive document).  The server-side implementation:

   o  MUST implement HTTP/1.1 to handle the client-side request and MAY
      also support other HTTP versions (e.g., HTTP/2);

   o  MUST include the CDNI Logging File identified by the request URI
      inside the body of the HTTP response;

   o  MUST support exchange of CDNI Logging Files with no content
      encoding applied to the representation;

   o  MUST support exchange of CDNI Logging Files with "gzip" content
      encoding (as defined in [RFC7231]) applied to the representation.

   Content negotiation approaches defined in [RFC7231] (e.g., using
   Accept-Encoding request-header field or Content-Encoding entity-
   header field) MAY be used by the client-side and server-side



Le Faucheur, et al.     Expires November 26, 2016              [Page 46]

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   implementations to establish the content-coding to be used for a
   particular exchange of a CDNI Logging File.

   Applying compression content encoding (such as "gzip") is expected to
   mitigate the impact of exchanging the large volumes of logging
   information expected across CDNs.  This is expected to be
   particularly useful in the presence of HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS)
   which, as per the present version of the document, will result in a
   separate CDNI Log Record for each HAS segment delivery in the CDNI
   Logging File.

   The potential retention limits (e.g., sliding time window, maximum
   aggregate file storage quotas) within which the dCDN is to retain and
   be ready to serve a CDNI Logging File previously advertised in the
   CDNI Logging Feed is outside the scope of the present document and is
   expected to be agreed upon by uCDN and dCDN via other means (e.g.,
   human agreement).  The server-side implementation MUST retain, and be
   ready to serve, any CDNI Logging File within the agreed retention
   limits.  Outside these agreed limits, the server-side implementation
   MAY indicate its inability to serve (e.g., with HTTP status code 404)
   a CDNI Logging File or MAY refuse to serve it (e.g., with HTTP status
   code 403 or 410).

5.  Protocol for Exchange of CDNI Logging File During Collection

   We note that, in addition to the CDNI Logging File exchange protocol
   specified in Section 4, implementations of the CDNI Logging interface
   may also support other mechanisms to exchange CDNI Logging Files.  In
   particular, such mechanisms might allow the exchange of the CDNI
   Logging File to start before the file is fully collected.  This can
   allow CDNI Logging Records to be communicated by the dCDN to the uCDN
   as they are gathered by the dCDN without having to wait until all the
   CDNI Logging Records of the same logging period are collected in the
   corresponding CDNI Logging File.  This approach is commonly referred
   to as "tailing" of the file.

   Such an approach could be used, for example, to exchange logging
   information with a significantly reduced time-lag (e.g., sub-minute
   or sub-second) between when the event occurred in the dCDN and when
   the corresponding CDNI Logging Record is made available to the uCDN.
   This can satisfy log-consuming applications requiring extremely fresh
   logging information such as near-real-time content delivery
   monitoring.  Such mechanisms are for further study and outside the
   scope of this document.

6.  IANA Considerations

   When IANA allocates new extensions to CDNI Logging Directive Names
   Registry, CDNI Logging File version Registry, CDNI Logging record-
   type Registry or CDNI Logging fields Registry, IANA MUST take into
   account that the directive names are case-insensitive as per the
   basic ABNF([RFC5234]).

6.1.  CDNI Logging Directive Names Registry

   The IANA is requested to create a new "CDNI Logging Directive Names"
   subregistry under the "Content Delivery Networks Interconnection
   (CDNI) Parameters" registry.

   The initial contents of the CDNI Logging Directives registry comprise
   the names of the directives specified in Section 3.3 of the present
   document, and are as follows:

     +------------------------------+-----------+
     | Directive Name               | Reference |
     +------------------------------+-----------+
     | version                      | RFC xxxx  |

     | claimed-origin               | RFC xxxx  |
     | established-origin           | RFC xxxx  |
     | remark                       | RFC xxxx  |
     | record-type                  | RFC xxxx  |
     | fields                       | RFC xxxx  |
     | SHA256-hash                  | RFC xxxx  |

   [Instructions to IANA: Replace "RFC xxxx" above by the RFC number of
   the present document]

   Within the registry, names are to be allocated by IANA according to
   the "Specification Required" policy specified in [RFC5226].
   Directive names are to be allocated by IANA with a format of
   NAMEFORMAT (see Section 3.1).  All directive names defined in the
   logging file are case-insensitive as per the basic ABNF([RFC5234]).

   Each specification that defines a new CDNI Logging directive needs to
   contain a description for the new directive with the same set of
   information as provided in Section 3.3 (i.e., format, directive value
   and occurrence).

6.2.  CDNI Logging File version Registry

   The IANA is requested to create a new "CDNI Logging File version"
   subregistry under the "Content Delivery Networks Interconnection
   (CDNI) Parameters" registry.

   The initial contents of the CDNI Logging Logging File version
   registry comprise the value "CDNI/1.0" specified in Section 3.3 of
   the present document, and are as follows:

    +-----------------+-----------+----------------------------------+

   the present document]

   Within the registry, record-types are to be allocated by IANA
   according to the "Specification Required" policy specified in
   [RFC5226].  Record-types are to be allocated by IANA with a format of
   NAMEFORMAT (see Section 3.1).  All record-types defined in the
   logging file are case-insensitive as per the basic ABNF([RFC5234]).

   Each specification that defines a new record-type needs to contain a
   description for the new record-type with the same set of information
   as provided in Section 3.4.1.  This includes:

   o  a list of all the CDNI Logging fields that can appear in a CDNI
      Logging Record of the new record-type

   o  for all these fields: a specification of the occurrence for each
      Field in the new record-type

   o  for every newly defined Field, i.e., for every Field that results
      in a registration in the CDNI Logging Field Names Registry
      (Section 6.4): a specification of the field name, format and field
      value.

6.4.  CDNI Logging Field Names Registry

   The IANA is requested to create a new "CDNI Logging Field Names"
   subregistry under the "Content Delivery Networks Interconnection
   (CDNI) Parameters" registry.

   This registry is intended to be shared across the currently defined
   record-type (i.e., cdni_http_request_v1) as well as potential other
   CDNI Logging record-types that may be defined in separate
   specifications.  When a Field from this registry is used by another
   CDNI Logging record-type, it is to be used with the exact semantics
   and format specified in the document that registered this field and
   that is identified in the Reference column of the registry.  If
   another CDNI Logging record-type requires a Field with semantics that
   are not strictly identical, or a format that is not strictly
   identical then this new Field is to be registered in the registry
   with a different Field name.  When a Field from this registry is used
   by another CDNI Logging record-type, it can be used with different
   occurrence rules.

   The initial contents of the CDNI Logging fields Names registry
   comprise the names of the CDNI Logging fields specified in
   Section 3.4 of the present document, and are as follows:

7.  Security Considerations

7.1.  Authentication, Authorization, Confidentiality, Integrity
      Protection

   An implementation of the CDNI Logging interface MUST support TLS
   transport of the CDNI Logging feed (Section 4.1) and of the CDNI
   Logging File pull (Section 4.2) as per [RFC2818] and [RFC7230].

   The use of TLS for transport of the CDNI Logging feed and CDNI
   Logging File pull allows:

   o  the dCDN and uCDN to authenticate each other

   and, once they have mutually authenticated each other, it allows:

   o  the dCDN and uCDN to authorize each other (to ensure they are
      transmitting/receiving CDNI Logging File to/from an authorized
      CDN)

   o  the CDNI Logging information to be transmitted with
      confidentiality

   o  the integrity of the CDNI Logging information to be protected
      during the exchange.

   In an environment where any such protection is required, mutually
   authenticated encrypted transport MUST be used to ensure
   confidentiality of the logging information, and to do so, TLS MUST be
   used (including authentication of the remote end) by the server-side
   and the client-side of the CDNI Logging feed, as well as the server-
   side and the client-side of the CDNI Logging File pull mechanism.

Internet-Draft                CDNI Logging                      May 2016


   When TLS is used, the general TLS usage guidance in [RFC7525] MUST be
   followed.

   The SHA256-hash directive inside the CDNI Logging File provides
   additional integrity protection, this time targeting potential
   corruption of the CDNI logging information during the CDNI Logging
   File generation, storage or exchange.  This mechanism does not itself
   allow restoration of the corrupted CDNI Logging information, but it
   allows detection of such corruption and therefore triggering of
   appropriate corrective actions (e.g., discard of corrupted
   information, attempt to re-obtain the CDNI Logging information).
   Note that the SHA256-hash does not protect against tampering by a
   third party, since such a third party could have recomputed and
   updated the SHA256-hash after tampering.  Protection against third
   party tampering when the CDNI Logging File is communicated over the
   CDN Logging Interface can be achieved as discussed above through the
   use of TLS.

7.2.  Denial of Service

   This document does not define specific mechanism to protect against
   Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on the Logging Interface.  However,
   the CDNI Logging feed and CDNI Logging pull endpoints are typically
   to be accessed only by a very small number of valid remote endpoints
   and therefore can be easily protected against DoS attacks through the
   usual conventional DOS protection mechanisms such as firewalling or
   use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).

   Protection of dCDN Surrogates against spoofed delivery requests is
   outside the scope of the CDNI Logging interface.

7.3.  Privacy

   CDNs have the opportunity to collect detailed information about the
   downloads performed by End Users.  A dCDN is expected to collect such
   information into CDNI Logging Files, which are then communicated to
   an uCDN.

   Having detailed CDNI logging information known by the dCDN in itself
   does not represent a particular privacy concern since the dCDN is
   obviously fully aware of all information logged since it generated
   the information in the first place.  Making detailed CDNI logging
   information known to the uCDN does not represent a particular privacy
   concern because the uCDN is already exposed at request redirection
   time to most of the information that shows up as CDNI logging
   information (e.g., enduser IP@, URL, HTTP headers - at least when
   HTTP redirection is used between uCDN and dCDN).  Transporting
   detailed CDNI logging information over the HTTP based CDNI Logging

   Interface does not represent a particular privacy concern because it
   is protected by usual IETF privacy-protection mechanism (e.g.,TLS).

   However, one privacy concern arises from the fact that large volumes
   of detailed information about content delivery to users, potentially
   traceable back to indvidual users, may be collected in CDNI Logging
   files.  These CDNI Logging files represent high-value targets, likely
   concentrated in a fairly centralised system (although the CDNI
   Logging architecture does not mandate a particular level of
   centralisation/distribution) and at risk of potential data
   exfiltration.  Note that the means of such data exfiltration are
   beyond the scope of the CDNI Logging interface itself (e.g.,
   corrupted employee, corrupted logging storage system,...).  This
   privacy concern calls for some protection.

   The collection of large volumes of such information into CDNI Logging
   Files introduces potential End Users privacy protection concerns.
   Mechanisms to address these concerns are discussed in the definition
   of the c-groupid field specified in Section 3.4.1.

   The use of mutually authenticated TLS to establish a secure session
   for the transport of the CDNI Logging feed and CDNI Logging pull as
   discussed in Section 7.1 provides confidentiality while the logging
   information is in transit and prevents any party other than the
   authorised uCDN to gain access to the logging information.

   We also note that the query string portion of the URL that may be
   conveyed inside the cs-uri and u-uri fields of CDNI Logging Files, or
   the HTTP cookies( [RFC6265]) that may be conveyed as part of the
   cs(<HTTP-header-name>) field of CDNI Logging files, may contain
   personnal information or information that can be exploited to derive
   personal information.  Where this is a concern, the CDNI Logging
   interface specification allows the dCDN to not include the cs-uri and
   to include a u-uri that removes (or hides) the sensitive part of the
   query string and allows the dCDN to not include the cs(<HTTP-header-
   name>) fields corresponding to HTTP headers associated with cookies.
