# Content Routing Track @ IPFS þing 2023
![](../assets/ipfs-thing-2023-recap/content-routing/content-routing-recap-slides.png)
The term "content" is ubiquitous in discussions about knowledge sharing, regardless of the platform used. IPFS takes this term to a new level by defining content as an immutable piece of information, identified by a cryptographic hash that defines its identity. Any change in the information results in a different identity, making the content immutable. This property has a subtle yet powerful advantage: a receiver of a piece of information can verify its authenticity based on its identifier. This simple concept leads to an important question: how can one locate shared content using its identity? 🤔 This is where "Content Routing" comes in.
Content Routing is the crucial first step in exchanging content within the IPFS network. Once a Content Identifier (CID) is generated from a piece of information, Content Routing enables the information to be both discoverable and discovered. In other words, it involves telling the network, "Hey, I have content, and here is its CID," as well as answering peer questions such as "Who has this CID?".
