Video caching is one of the most important research issues in Content-Centric Network (CCN) and greatly affects its overall performance. The computational complexity of state-of-the-art optimal caching schemes is high, due to the arbitrary network topologies. In this paper, the popularity-aware video caching in topology-known CCN is studied. The complex arbitrary network typology is mapped into a virtual cascade network topology and a caching scheme is designed in accordance with the transformed virtual network rather than the original network. This scheme is proved optimal, and is with polynomial computational complexity. Simulations are conducted and the results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes.
