A method comprises receiving a data object request to serve a data object and transmitting bid requests to a plurality of systems. The data object request identifies the data object and the bid requests comprise information relating to the data object and request the plurality of systems to provide a bid value for serving and/or caching the data object. The method further comprises determining a best bid from one or more bid values received in response to the transmitted bid requests and redirecting or forwarding the data object request to the system which transmitted the best bid and/or requesting the system which transmitted the best bid to cache the data object.

Auctioning the serving and/or caching of a data object

The invention relates to a network node () comprising at least one communication interface, at least one memory, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive an interest message on the at least one communication interface from a downstream node (), the interest message comprising a name of a requested data object, to determine whether to bid for storing the requested data object in the at least one memory, to calculate a bid value, to forward the interest message to an upstream node () on the at least one communication interface, the interest message including the calculated bid value in dependence on at least the determination whether to bid, to receive a data message comprising the requested data object from the upstream node on the at least one communication interface, to determine from at least the data message whether the network node won the bid, to store the data object in the at least one memory if the network node won the bid, and to forward the data message to the downstream node on the at least one communication interface.

Network node, endpoint node and method of receiving an interest message

The present invention relates to a method for handling a service request within a local area network. First a service request is received from a user device. The service request comprising information regarding one or more requirements needed to perform the service. Then a download location is localized by means of a localization service within a public network to obtain computer executable information on the basis of the information in the service request. The computer executable information is then retrieved for performing the service from the download location and installed on a networked device within the local area network. Finally, a message is sent to the user device regarding the availability of the service within the local area network.
