Abstract
Preemptive caching within content/name/information centric networking environment is contemplated. The preemptively caching may be performed within content/name/information centric networking environments of the type having a branching structure or other architecture sufficient to facilitate routing data, content, etc. such that one or more nodes other than a node soliciting a content object also receive the content object.
Claims11
A method for preemptive caching in a content-centric network (CCN), the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first node of the CCN, a first content object as an unsolicited message without the first node of the CCN transmitting an interest message identifying the first content object to another node of the CCN;
- assessing cacheability of the first content object at least partially based on one or more parameters of the first content object;
- and
- preemptively caching the first content object at the first node of the CCN in response to a cacheability assessment of the first content object meeting one or more criteria.

A method for preemptive caching in a content-centric network (CCN), the method comprising:
- receiving, at a second node of the CCN, an unsolicited content object being communicated to a first client connected to a first node of the CCN without the second node of the CCN transmitting an interest message identifying the first content object to another node of the CCN;
- determining a timecode included within the content object, the timecode indicating positioning of the content object relative to a time-coded sequence;
- performing, at the second node, a cacheability assessment of the content object;
- and
- preemptively caching the content object at the second node in response to the timecode occurring after a point in time of interest to a second client connected to the second node of the CCN.
