N1 - This paper analyses the research challenges related to Content Distribution Networks and discusses issues and strategies to overcome them on the way to next-generation Content Networks (CN). The paper is a collaborative effort of leading European researchers in this domain with the aim of characterizing the area, clarifying the terminology, summarizing the state-of-the-art, and highlighting and discussing some grand challenges for CNs. The paper has resulted in a number of research collaborations, follow-up projects and publications. The most prominent result is the FP6 Network of Excellence (NoE) CONTENT (involving 10 partners and around 45 researchers; project value ' 2.6 M).
