Analysis of research on satellite network caching mechanism based on ICN

Abstract

ICN was introduced into satellite networks to meet the growing demand for content acquisition. The caching mechanism is one of the most critical parts that profoundly affects the performance of the network. Based on the application background of satellite networks, the working mechanism of ICN and its technical advantages in introducing satellite networks are elaborated. The application status of ICN cache in satellite networks is analyzed to explore the applicability of existing caching mechanism in satellite networks, and the development and challenges of ICN caching mechanism in satellite network are analyzed.
