For enhancing network efficiency, various applications/services like CDN and P2P try to utilize content which have previously been cached somewhere. Content-centric networking (CCN) also utilizes data caching functionality. However, dislike CDN/P2P, CCN implements such a function on network nodes. Then, any intermediated nodes can directly respond to request messages for cached data. Hence, it is essential which content is cached as well as which nodes cache transmitted content. Basically, CCN propose for every nodes on the path from the content publisher of transmitted object to a requester to cache the object. However, such an approach is inefficient considering the utilization of cached objects as well as the storage overhead of each node. Hence, various caching mechanisms are proposed to enhance the storage efficiency of a node. In this paper, we analyze the performance of such mechanisms and compare the characteristics of such mechanisms. Also, we analyze content utilization patterns and apply such pattern to caching mechanisms to analyze the practicalism of the caching mechanisms.

Content Centric Network (CCN) is a network that emerged to improve the existing network structure and communicates based on content names instead of addresses. It utilises caches to distribute traffic and reduce response time by delivering content from intermediate nodes. In this paper, we propose a popularity-based caching policy to efficiently utilise the limited CS space in CCN environment. The performance of CCNs can vary significantly depending on which content is prioritised to be stored and released. To achieve the most efficient cache replacement, we propose a real-time content popularity-based efficient cache replacement policy that calculates and prioritises content popularity based on constructor popularity, constructor distance, and content hits, and demonstrate the effectiveness of the new policy through experiments.

This study proposes a fault-tolerant caching system to address the issue of caching content imbalance caused by the dynamic departure and participation of cache servers in a heterogeneous cache server network, and validates it in both real and virtual environments. With the increase of large-scale media content requiring various types and resolutions, the necessity of cache servers as key components to reduce response time to user requests and alleviate network load has been growing. In particular, research on heterogeneous cache server networks utilizing edge computing and low-power devices has been actively conducted recently. However, in such environments, the irregular departure and participation of cache servers can occur frequently, leading to content imbalance among the cache servers deployed in the network, which can degrade the performance of the cache server network. The fault-tolerant caching algorithm proposed in this study ensures stable service quality by maintaining balance among media contents even when cache servers depart. Experimental results confirmed that the proposed algorithm effectively maintains content distribution despite the departure of cache servers. Additionally, we built a network composed of seven heterogeneous cache servers to verify the practicality of the proposed caching system and demonstrated its performance and scalability through a large-scale cache server network in a virtual environment.

기존 인터넷이 원격지 호스트들 사이의 안정적인 연결에 중점을 두고 개발되었기 때문에 대용량 콘텐츠 전송을 포함해서 다양한 종류의 서비스 요구사항을 충족시키지 못하고 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위하여 미래 인터넷 아키텍처 및 기술이 제안되었다. 미래 인터넷 아키텍처 중 하나인 ICN은 네트워크를 통해 전송되는 콘텐츠의 캐시를 탐색하고 효율적으로 전송하는 기술에 중점을 두어 개발된 새로운 패킷 전송 모델이다. 특히, ICN은 전송 효율을 높이기 위한 방법으로 콘텐츠 배포지의 다변화를 추구하여, 멀티미디어 프락시 시스템 또는 네트워크 노드에 콘텐츠를 임시 저장한다. 이와 같이 임시 저장된 콘텐츠 캐시를 이용하여 사용자의 요청 메시지를 콘텐츠 공급자 외에도 다양한 호스트/노드들이 응답할 수 있도록 개발되었다. 이와 같은 패킷 전송 모델을 구현하기 위하여 호스트 식별자를 패킷 라우팅 정보로 활용하던 기존 인터넷 주소 체계와는 다른 콘텐츠 식별 정보를 정의하고, 이 식별 정보를 라우팅 정보로 활용한다. 본 논문에서는 ICN의 콘텐츠 식별 정보 체계와 이를 활용한 라우팅 방안들을 살펴보고 그 특징들을 비교 분석한다.

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.

Recently, cache sharing methods have been studied in order to effectively reply to user requests in mobile P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a cache sharing scheme based on a cluster considering the peer connectivity in mobile P2P networks. The proposed scheme shares caches by making a cluster that consists of peers preserving the connectivity among them for a long time. The proposed scheme reduces data duplication to efficiently use the cache space in a cluster. The cache space is divided into two parts with a data cache and a temporary cache for a cache space. It is possible to reduce the delay time when the cluster topology is changed or the cache data is replaced utilizing a temporary cache. The proposed scheme checks the caches of peers in a route to a cluster header and the caches of one-hop peers in order to reduce the communication cost. It is shown through performance evaluation that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes.

In distributed file-systems, cooperative caching algorithm which owns the data cached at each node jointly is used to reduce an expense of disk access. Cooperative caching algorithm is the method that increases a cache hit-ratio and decrease a disk access as it holds the cache information of distributed systems in common and makes cache larger virtually. Recently, several cooperative caching algorithms decrease the message costs by using approximate information of the cache and increase the cache hit-ratio by using local and global cache fields dynamically. And they have an advantage that increases the whole field hit-ratio by sending a replaced buffer to the idle node on buffers replacement in order to maintain the replaced cache in the cache field. However the wrong approximate information deteriorates the performance, the consistency maintenance goes to great expense to exchange messages and the cost that manages Age-information of each node to choose the idle node increases. In this thesis, we propose a cooperative cache algorithm that maintains correct cache information, minimizes the maintenance cost for consistency and the management cost for buffer Age-information. Also, we show the superiority of our algorithm through the performance evaluation.

Content Centric Network(CCN) with architecture that is completely different from traditional host-based networks has emerged to address problems such as the explosion of traffic load in the current network. Research on cache replacement policies is very active to improve the performance of CCN with the characteristics that all routers cache on the network. Therefore, this paper proposes a cache replacement policy suitable for situations in which popularity is constantly changing, taking into account the actual network situation. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we experimented in an environment where the popularity of content is constantly changing, and confirmed that we are superior to the existing replacement policy through comparing hit rates and analyzing server load.

CCN, which has emerged to overcome the limitations of existing network structures, enables efficient networking by changing the IP Address-based network method to the Content-based network method. At this time, the contents are stored on each node(router) rather than on the top server, and considering the limitation of storage capacity, it is very important to determine which contents to store and release through the cache policy, and there are several cache policies that have been studied so far. In this paper, two of the existing cache policies, producer popularity-based and distance-based, were mixed. In addition, the mixing ratio was set differently to experiment, and we proved which experiement was the most efficient one.
