CTA Publishes Document on Streaming Media Request Trace Specification

Published on December 2025

CTA recently published a document that defines a tracing model for observability in streaming media and an HTTP implementation of that model for interoperable tracing (CTA-5010). It seeks to address observability gaps in the delivery of real-time streaming media experiences, over HTTP, across content providers and third-party services.
