Abstract
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.
