Summary: Excellent coverage of content networking
Review: As an IT manager, I can't say enough about this book. It covers all of the issues surrounding content networking in a clear an easy to read way. I especially found the SSL and caching chapters useful since I'm in the middle of deploying solutions for both problem areas. The SSL chapter clearly explains how the protocol works and explains how it relates to real-life issues in deploying SSL accelerators. I've also found this book useful to get my junior administrators up to speed with the technologies that they have to learn. Finding staff that is familiar with this stuff is hard but with a book like this, I can actually provide useful training material without having to develop anything of my own or spend a lot of time explaining the basics. I intend to buy copies for all of my staff.

Summary: Want to know what is a Content Delivery Network? This is it!
Review: Scott Hull and his colleagues/friends have provided an excellent resource for building, enhancing functionality, improving performance, and insuring security for Content Delivery Networks, paying special attention to SSL protocol; which I was most concerned with. It is by no means a technology primer on all the subjects we encounter in a Content Delivery Network. You should already be aware of some foundation technologies like, LAN Protocols, PKI, Firewall design concepts, Bridging concepts as it relates to Spanning Tree protocol, web client access mechanisms/browser security, etc., to insure thorough understanding; although Scott does provide a solid refresher on these subjects. The book is an easy read, and is a must have in your arsenal of technology guides if you are in the business of deploying these technologies, or developers who are looking to understand these technologies and provide solutions to their customers. Thanks Scott! Very timely.

Summary: Useful, Readable, Great Resource
Review: This book covers a broad scope of technologies and how they intertwine to make the internet work better. It gave me a new perspective of the ongoing development of the global infrastructure and pointed out problems with current delivery systems. I found the specific descriptions and comparisons of the leading products and how to configure them invaluable.
