Abstract
A router includes a content store (CS) that stores content, a packet processing determination unit that determines whether a received interest packet is a best available (BA) interest packet, and an optimum content request processor that if it is determined that the interest packet is a BA interest packet and if the optimum content request processor determines that content having higher quality than the quality of the content stored in the CS can be acquired from an upstream router, on the basis of the quality of the content stored in the CS and constraining conditions of the BA interest packet, forwards the BA interest packet to the upstream router.
