Router Position-Based Cooperative Caching for Video-on-Demand in Information-Centric Networking

Information centric networking (ICN) is one of the emerging Internet paradigms proposed to overcome the shortcoming of the current host-centric Internet. With ubiquitous in-network caching, ICN can facilitate content delivery and reduce network delay. In this paper, we propose a novel collaborative caching scheme based on routers' position to cache popular videos on the edge routers which are closer to users. A priori knowledge of videos' popularity is not required as the proposed scheme adapts itself to the user requests. The benefits of our proposed approach are: Light-weight, short content deli
