When we started GGIE (or, as we called it then,  Content Driven Internet (CDI)), the intent was always to be about engaging natively with the Internet architecture to make video better.  There are groups that talk about the video data – formats, metadata, encodings, color spaces – but absent from the discussion was the fundamental engineering portions of the Internet.   Back then it was clear we had an network engineering need but it wasn’t clear what the specific need was.   The effort has found many things to be specific about – IPv6 address for Content, leveraging Segment Routing, opening packaged media to the network, using routing to direct devices to sources, pushing the decision making of media access away from the core and back to the edge – and we’ve begun finding others who are doing network engineering work on video.

This website is offered as a first step in creating a “go to” place for network engineering for video work,  a central hub that connects them, providing a gateway for others to join in.
