CoMon: A system architecture for improving caching in CCN

Content-Centric Networking (CCN) promises to yield large efficiency gains for Internet content distribution. Its autonomous cache management, however, raises doubts about achieving the intended goals optimally. A coordinated cache management, based on timely usage information, will help to fully leverage the cache efficiency. In this poster we introduce CoMon, a system architecture that implements Coordinated caching based on Monitoring of content usage and its stability. CoMon aims at improving CCN caching with low monitoring and communication overheads.
