RE: Is CDI dead?I am not happy about having this mailing list used for =

I don't try to sell my company's products to this WG, and I'd like =
everyone else to do likewise.

Thanks,

  With ref to this extract from you rmail:
    The reality of CDI is that we've gone from having

     I agree with you in toto.
     I personally feel that the cost of CDN hardware like the Content =
Engine or Switch is quite expensive for the times we are in now.
    Not that we need Content Networking less , actually there is a =
greater need for really fast access of high bandwidth consuming =
multimedia converged content.
    Solutions like Justin Chapweske's Tornado Web Raid CDN which is =
essentially an intelligent peer to peer solution based on an intelligent =
content gateway inside the corporate net, and intelligent "onion peers", =
merits attention for a solution for today for fast access of content =
rich media.
    I refer you to :
      http://onionnetworks.com

    I think it's important to distinguish a working group from an =
interest
    group.

    No-one is saying that CDI is an uninteresting topic.  Many of us =
expect that
    the subject will once again attract a sufficient level of attention =
in the
    future to warrant standardization efforts. But the IETF does not =
charter
    working groups based on "2 or 3" people who want to comment on =
things.  And
    a working group that has reached the point of being defended on the =
basis
    that there might still be a few people who want to talk about things =
is
    basically not functioning as a working group any more.

    There are many interesting things that are not standardized. (And =
there are
    many things standardized that are not very interesting!)  It's =
important to
    keep track of what kind of group you're dealing with and what kind =
of work
    is to be done there.  The reality of CDI is that we've gone from =
having
    "lots of CDN operators, many interested in interoperation" to having =
"very
    few CDN operators, all focused on survival".  You can't make =
progress on
    standardization efforts when the stakeholders are unwilling or =
unable to
    participate.
