Abstract
Various embodiments include methods and apparatus structured to cache items of content in an information-centric network (ICN). The caching of the items of content can be based on a centrality metric for the node related to connectivity of the node to other nodes within the network of nodes and to popularity of each of the items being stored. The storing of items not currently stored in the network may be made, in an iterative process, by storing each item in a cache of a node having lowest centrality metric of the nodes, in order of decreasing popularity from a most popular item, until the cache of the node is filled. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods can be implemented in a variety of applications.
