Packet-level Caching for Information-centric Networking
Somaya Arianfar, Pekka Nikander, Jörg Ott · 2010
Within the current Internet architecture, adding fully efficient in-network packet caches is not easily doable. Packets are defined only in the context of transport level flows and are not independently addressable. In this paper, we introduce a new model that makes fully functional network-level packet caches possible. We give early evaluation results on the feasibility and usability of in-router packet caches, within the new model.
