Description of Working Group:

The Open Pluggable Edge Services architecture (OPES) enables construction of services executed on application data by participating transit intermediaries. Caching is the most basic intermediary service, one that requires a basic understanding of application semantics by the cache server. Because intermediaries divert data temporarily over a pathway different from the transit pathway, one can think of the service path as being orthogonal to the main transit path. The purpose of this working group is to define the architecture and protocols for a broad set of services that facilitate efficient delivery of complex content or services related to content. The advantage of standardizing these protocols is that the services can be re-used across vendor products without modifying the transit intermediaries or services.
