The new content distribution functionality in Configuration Manager 2012 gives you the ability to span a single site across multiple geographical locations using WAN links more efficiently. A well-designed System Center Configuration Manager hierarchy is more likely to contain fewer, flatter, simpler, and easier ways to manage sites. The top site can be a single primary site or a CAS. A primary site cannot have another primary site as a child site. If you want to extend your Configuration Manager hierarchy with a primary site, you need to create a CAS.
