Cisco Content Routers are the content routing elements of a larger,
Cisco Content Delivery Network (CDN) solution, which includes content
switching, content distribution and delivery, content services, and content
management, as well as content routing. The Content Router 4430 (CR-4430) is
deployed at strategic locations within your network and operates in conjunction
with Content Engines to redirect DNS requests to optimal Content Engines based
on network proximity; presence of requested content; current Content Engine
status, including load and availability; and current network conditions,
including load.
