Recently,content-centric networking(CCN) has become a hot research topic for the diffusion of contents over the Internet.Most existing works on CCN focus on the improvement of network resource utilization.Consequently,the energy consumption aspect of CCN is largely ignored.In this paper,we propose a distributed energyefficient in-network caching scheme for CCN,where each content router only needs locally available information to make caching decisions considering both caching energy consumption and transport energy consumption.We formulate the in-network caching problem as a non-cooperative game.Through rigorous mathematical analysis,we prove that pure strategy Nash equilibria exist in the proposed scheme,and it always has a strategy profile that implements the socially optimal configuration,even if the routers are self-interested in nature.Simulation results are presented to show that the distributed solution is competitive to the centralized scheme,and has superior performance compared to other popular caching schemes in CCN.Besides,it exhibits a fast convergence speed when the capacity of content routers varies.
