Cache Decision for Scalable Video Streaming in Information Centric Networks

Ability of caching the content is one of the most important feature of Information/Content Centric Network’s (ICN/CCN) nodes. In this paper we proposed a new idea that ensures to cache the base layer of a scalable video near to the users, which is mandatory layer for decoding any video and is needed by all the users with any datarate budget, and consequently cache the higher layers in the upper nodes in the CCN/ICN. Our proposed scheme reduces traffic inside the network and improve response time to the users. 1
