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.
