Hello PJ,

I don't know of any published books or papers ... just my own research. While at Novell I wrote several papers that I had on my internal web site, and I presented the concepts numerous times in my presentations on caching technologies.

To me, it has been obvious for quite some time that session based communications are going to be required to break the "Layer 4" barrier. In all reality, a "Layer 4" switch is *really* a Layer 3 switch which "peeks" into packs to try and learn more.

To truly move beyond Layer 4 requires connection oriented communications ... especially across multi-hop/multi-router paths. And so this leads to the routing of whole objects between object routers ...

There are a number of Internet gurus that I have been discussing this with, and there is some related research in hierarchical cache networks on the NLANR web site. (Http://www.nlanr.net)

I'm going to be meeting with some folks at George Gilders conference to brainstorm on this some more. But what you are seeing with Akamai, Sandpiper, InterVU, and RBN (Real Broadcast Network) are just the beginning ... ;-)
