What benefit does the Cisco Content Distribution Manager (CDM) offer?
The Cisco Content Distribution Manager (CDM) intelligently pushes content to geographically dispersed content engines. These content engines then serve up the content to local clients, thus reducing bandwidth demands on the WAN. • In the Cisco content networking solution, how does transparent caching differ from proxy caching? Transparent caching dynamically intercepts requests directed outside of the network and redirects those requests to a local content engine. However, proxy caching requires that a user’s application (such as a browser) point directly to the content engine. • What content networking component uses Self-Organizing Distributed Architecture (SODA)? The Cisco Content Distribution Manager (CDM) uses the SODA to keep track of what content is located on which content engine. • You are using content networking for web- caching purposes. Where should you place content engines? Content engines should be strategically placed to prevent unnecessary WAN access. For example, rem
