In recent computer networks, the same data are often transferred repeatedly. We have developed network nodes with packet caches in order to reduce such redundant traffic in TCP/IP network. We call the node TR node. In our previous researches, we had to set up locating information of the TR nodes statically for decision of their function. Additionally, the configuration with multiple encoding TR nodes was unacceptable because of cache competition. In this study, we provided information of location and status for TR node control using a new IP option. We enabled the TR node to decide its function dynamically and avoid cache competition autonomously with the information.
