It was&nbsp; my honest intention to point out that there are intelligent =
peer to peer solutions which achieve the objective of fast multimedia =
content&nbsp; access which are available at much much cheaper prices as =
compared to the hardware necessary in hardware based solutions from many =
of the vendors.<BR>
&nbsp; If as you say there are very few CDN operators now it is simply =
because they do not get much return for the investment they have to put =
in for costly hardware.<BR>
&nbsp;Definitely there is a growing untapped market for content delivery =
and we would be only blinding ourselve if we continue to look the same =
way for solutions.<BR>

&nbsp; With ref to this extract from you rmail:<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The reality of CDI is that we've gone from having<BR>
&nbsp; &quot;lots of CDN operators, many interested in =
interoperation&quot; to having &quot;very<BR>
&nbsp; few CDN operators, all focused on survival&quot;.&nbsp; You can't =
make progress on<BR>
&nbsp; standardization efforts when the stakeholders are unwilling or =
unable to<BR>
&nbsp; participate.<BR>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I agree with you in toto.<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Not that we need Content Networking less , actually =
there is a greater need for really fast access of high bandwidth =
consuming multimedia converged content.<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 =
&quot;onion peers&quot;, merits attention for a solution for today for =
fast access of content rich media.<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I refer you to :<BR>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I think it's important to distinguish a working group =
from an interest<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; group.<BR>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No-one is saying that CDI is an uninteresting =
topic.&nbsp; Many of us expect that<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the subject will once again attract a sufficient =
level of attention in the<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; future to warrant standardization efforts. But the =
IETF does not charter<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; working groups based on &quot;2 or 3&quot; people who =
want to comment on things.&nbsp; And<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a working group that has reached the point of being =
defended on the basis<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; that there might still be a few people who want to =
talk about things is<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; basically not functioning as a working group any =
more.<BR>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There are many interesting things that are not =
standardized. (And there are<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; many things standardized that are not very =
interesting!)&nbsp; It's important to<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; keep track of what kind of group you're dealing with =
and what kind of work<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; is to be done there.&nbsp; The reality of CDI is that =
we've gone from having<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;lots of CDN operators, many interested in =
interoperation&quot; to having &quot;very<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; few CDN operators, all focused on =
survival&quot;.&nbsp; You can't make progress on<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; standardization efforts when the stakeholders are =
