On an impact of large content on packet-level caching of information centric networking

Abstract

On the one hand packet-level caching of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a key to accommodating Video on Demand (VoD) movies thanks to its fine granularity caching, but on the other hand it would cause degradation in cache hit probability because each of packets constituting a content object is dealt individually. This paper analytically reveals that caching large content objects by using packet-level caching degrades caching hit probability.
