While writing a book on a topic that is new and exciting and one that allows even the most seasoned professional to experience some sort of satisfaction after completing a difficult configuration or finally solving an impossible problem, we have tried to ensure that we have covered the technical aspects, including the advantages and disadvantages of content switching, without discussing vendor-specific configurations and CLI commands, and so forth. Our aim throughout has been to discuss the power and benefits of this technology. While this is a technology with which we are proud to be associated, it does not solve all problems and has many areas that need attention and better design and planning. Regardless, content switching opens a whole new area that allows us to extend our knowledge, enhance our skills, and, hopefully, in the process have some fun. We hope that you find this book a useful addition to your reference library. |
