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.
Amazon, impulse acquisition (I was searching for ICAP/ICP/OECP ad nauseam, and stumbled upon it) 2008-06-17.
A well-written and insightful book (certainly a rarity among recent original networking texts) sure to have a regrettably small readership. It turned out a coworker had been on the review team -- it's a small world. Gettin' smaller.
