Cisco Content Router
The Cisco Content Router is a compact, high-performance
solution for enabling premium Web services over public or
private networks. Featuring either Cisco Enterprise Content-Delivery Network (ECDN) or
Content Router 1.1 Software, customers can transparently route user Web browsers to the
optimal content engine for file delivery.
With its patented routing technology, the Cisco CR provides redundancy, scalability, and
performance enhancements for network Web sites in either an enterprise or public service
provider network. Using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)-based re-direction, the Cisco
CR 4430 can redirect users over the public network or behind the security of a corporate
firewall, making it a vital component of the Cisco end-to-end Content Networking Solution.
Like the CDM, the CR is delivered as a “personality” of either the 566 or 7305 Series
Content Engine products.
