2.7.3 System Configuration Corruption or Unavailability

Content Caching and Retrieval relies on the availability and consistency of its configuration data. Configuration consists of the data that determines the behavior of the system under specific conditions or for a specific functionality. In the event that Content Caching and Retrieval fails in some manner and the File Access Services are still functioning, the system operates without content caching.

During content retrieval, malformed messages that are received by the content client and messages of unknown type are quietly discarded. For more information, see [MS-PCCRR] section 3.1.5.5.
