Description
As the Internet has grown, so have the challenges associated with delivering static, streaming, and dynamic content to end-users. This
book is unique in that it addresses the topic of content networking exclusively and comprehensively, tracing the evolution from traditional
web caching to today's open and vastly more flexible architecture. With this evolutionary approach, the authors emphasize the field's
most persistent concepts, principles, and mechanisms--the core information that will help you understand why and how content delivery
works today, and apply that knowledge in the future.
Audience
Practitioners and researchers at: network service providers (e.g., AT&T, Akamai, Qwest); software/hardware vendors (e.g., Lucent, Cisco,
Nortel); and content providers (e.g. Yahoo; Disney; Google; Amazon)
