With popularization of services for massive content, the fundamental limitations of TCP/IP networking were discussed and a new paradigm called Information-centric networking (ICN) was presented. In ICN, content is addressed by the content identifier (content name) instead of the location identifier such as IP address, and network nodes can use the cache to store content in transit to directly service subsequent user requests. As the user request can be serviced from nearby network caches rather than from far-located content servers, advantages such as reduced service latency, efficient usage of network bandwidth, and service scalability have been introduced. However, these advantages are determined by how actively content stored in the cache can be utilized. In this paper, we 1) introduce content access schemes in Named-data networking, one of the representative ICN architectures; 2) in particular, review the schemes that allow access to cached content away from routing paths; 3) conduct comparative study on the performance of the schemes using the ndnSIM simulator.
