A Survey of Caching Mechanisms in Information-Centric Networking
Abstract
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a novel networking paradigm that attracts increasing research interests in recent years. In-network caching has been viewed as an attractive feature of ICN because it can reduce network traffic, alleviate server bottleneck, and reduce the user access latencies. Because of this, the network community has proposed many in-network caching mechanisms that aim at optimizing various performance metrics such as cache hit ratio and cache hit distance. In this survey, we present a comprehensive overview of the recently proposed in-network caching mechanisms for ICN. For each caching mechanism, we describe it in detail, present examples to illustrate how it works, and analyze its possible benefits and drawbacks. We also compare some typical in-network caching mechanisms through extensive simulations and discuss the remaining research challenges.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
