A selective caching scheme based on request history in content-centric networks

Abstract

Content-Centric Networks (CCNs) promise to deliver content in a better way than today's Internet. In CCNs, efficient content delivery services can be achieved by using cache storage on routers. However, an effective caching scheme in CCNs is never established, because the communication method in CCNs differs from that in traditional networks. Therefore, we propose a selective caching scheme which only caches content likely to be used next. Furthermore, we show its effectiveness through simulations.
