Abstract

   In describing content internetworking as a technology targeted for
   use in production networks, it is useful to provide examples of the
   sequence of events that may occur when two content networks decide to
   interconnect.  The scenarios presented here seek to provide some
   concrete examples of what content internetworking is, and also to
   provide a basis for evaluating content internetworking proposals.
