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 mechanism is specified in Section 4.2.
Top   ToC   RFC7937 - Page 45
   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
   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]).
Top   ToC   RFC7937 - Page 46
   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. 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).
Top   ToC   RFC7937 - Page 47

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 a 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 a 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.
Top   ToC   RFC7937 - Page 50
   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
   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)
   that, 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 and 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 the "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 are outside the scope of this document.

6. IANA Considerations

6.1. CDNI Logging Directive Names Registry

IANA has created 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 7937 | | UUID | RFC 7937 | | claimed-origin | RFC 7937 | | established-origin | RFC 7937 | | remark | RFC 7937 | | record-type | RFC 7937 | | fields | RFC 7937 | | SHA256-hash | RFC 7937 | +------------------------------+-----------+ Figure 9: CDNI Logging Directive Names Registry 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

IANA has created a new "CDNI Logging File version" subregistry under the "Content Delivery Networks Interconnection (CDNI) Parameters" registry.
Top   ToC   RFC7937 - Page 52
   The initial contents of the "CDNI Logging File version" registry
   comprise the value "cdni/1.0" specified in Section 3.3 of the present
   document and are as follows:

    +-----------------+-----------+----------------------------------+
    | version         | Reference |        Description               |
    +-----------------+-----------+----------------------------------+
    | cdni/1.0        | RFC 7937  | CDNI Logging File version 1.0    |
    |                 |           | as specified in RFC 7937         |
    +-----------------+-----------+----------------------------------+

               Figure 10: CDNI Logging File version Registry

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

6.3. CDNI Logging record-types Registry

IANA has created a new "CDNI Logging record-types" subregistry under the "Content Delivery Networks Interconnection (CDNI) Parameters" registry. The initial contents of the "CDNI Logging record-types" registry comprise the names of the CDNI Logging record-types specified in Section 3.4 of the present document and are as follows: +----------------------+-----------+---------------------------------+ | record-types | Reference | Description | +----------------------+-----------+---------------------------------+ | cdni_http_request_v1 | RFC 7937 | CDNI Logging Record version 1 | | | | for content delivery using HTTP | +----------------------+-----------+---------------------------------+ Figure 11: CDNI Logging record-types Registry 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]).
Top   ToC   RFC7937 - Page 53
   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

IANA has created 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 potentially 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.
Top   ToC   RFC7937 - Page 54
   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:

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

               Figure 12: CDNI Logging Field Names Registry

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

6.5. CDNI Logging Payload Type

IANA has registered the following new Payload Type in the "CDNI Payload Types" registry for use with the application/cdni MIME media type. +----------------------+---------------+ | Payload Type | Specification | +----------------------+---------------+ | logging-file | RFC 7937] | +----------------------+---------------+ Figure 13: CDNI Logging Payload Type The purpose of the logging-file payload type is to distinguish between CDNI Logging Files and other CDNI messages. o Interface: LI o Encoding: See Section 3.2, Section 3.3, and Section 3.4

7. Security Considerations

7.1. Authentication, Authorization, Confidentiality, and 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]. TLS MUST be used 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, including authentication of the remote end, unless alternate methods are used for ensuring the security of the information exchanged over the LI interface (such as setting up an IPsec tunnel between the two CDNs or using a physically secured internal network between two CDNs that are owned by the same corporate entity). 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 using TLS client auth and TLS server auth.
Top   ToC   RFC7937 - Page 56
   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.

   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, and 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 a 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.
Top   ToC   RFC7937 - Page 57

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 a 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. Transporting detailed CDNI Logging information over the HTTP-based CDNI Logging interface does not represent a particular privacy concern because it is protected by the usual privacy-protection mechanism (e.g., TLS). When HTTP redirection is used between the uCDN and the dCDN, 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., end-user IP address, URL, and HTTP headers). When DNS redirection is used between the uCDN and the dCDN, there are cases where there is no privacy concern in making detailed CDNI logging information known to the uCDN; this may be the case, for example, where (1) it is considered that because the uCDN has the authority (with respect to the CSP) and control on how the requests are delivered (including whether it is served by the uCDN itself or by a dCDN), the uCDN is entitled to access all detailed information related to the corresponding deliveries, and (2) there is no legal reason to restrict access by the uCDN to all this detailed information. Conversely still, when DNS redirection is used between the uCDN and the dCDN, there are cases where there may be some privacy concern in making detailed CDNI Logging information known to the uCDN; this may be the case, for example, because the uCDN is in a different jurisdiction to the dCDN, resulting is some legal reasons to restrict access by the uCDN to all the detailed information related to the deliveries. In this latter case, the privacy concerns can be taken into account when the uCDN and dCDN agree about which fields are to be conveyed inside the CDNI Logging Files and which privacy protection mechanism is to be used as discussed in the definition of the c-groupid field specified in Section 3.4.1. Another privacy concern arises from the fact that large volumes of detailed information about content delivery to users, potentially traceable back to individual users, may be collected in CDNI Logging Files. These CDNI Logging Files represent high-value targets, likely concentrated in a fairly centralized system (although the CDNI
Top   ToC   RFC7937 - Page 58
   Logging architecture does not mandate a particular level of
   centralization/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, etc.).  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
   authorized 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
   personal 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.
