Cache management strategy for CCN based on content popularity

Abstract

Content Centric Networking is a promising architecture for the Future Internet to deliver content at large-scale. It relies on named data and caching features which consists of storing content across the delivery path to serve forthcoming requests. As some content is more likely to be requested than other, caching only popular content may help to manage the cache of CCN nodes. In this paper, we present our new caching strategy adapted to CCN and based on the popularity of content. We show through simulation experiments that our strategy is able to cache less content while it still achieves a higher Cache Hit and outperforms existing default caching strategy in CCN. © 2013 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
