Summary

Content networking is a technology that is here to stay. It will slowly become ingrained into networking products just like spanning tree and routing protocols have in Layer 2 and Layer 3 devices. While skills are not as widespread as needed, education and a desire by the content manufacturers to simplify and automate these processes will ensure that penetration into the marketplace is a given. With the early pioneers and the new players all still competing for market and mind share, we will not see a slowdown in this area for some time to come. We believe that content networking is an exciting technology to work with, and hope that this book goes some way to not only educating you but also providing you with the ability to enhance the way you and your company do business.
