Congestion-aware caching and search in information-centric networks

The performance of in-network caching in information-centric networks, and of cache networks more generally, is typically characterized by network-centric performance metrics such as hit rate and hop count, with approaches to locating and caching content evaluated and optimized for these metrics. We believe that user-centric performance metrics, in particular the delay from when a content request is made by the user to the time at which the...
