Use Case and Challenges for the Deployment of Object-Based Media across the Internet

This document outlines the challenges and use cases for the deployment and operation of Object-Based Media (OBM), also known as Flexible Media (FM), across the Internet. It discusses key considerations such as compute-aware traffic steering, metric usage, bandwidth optimization, and latency reduction techniques. The intention of this document is to highlight specific challenges or areas where IETF investigation and applicable solutions are needed for the optimal deployment of OBM-based media services.
