The current Internet has achieved great success since it was developed, and it is designed for communication between endpoints. However, there exist limitations related to its scalability, security, and mobility. Nowadays, the main use of the Internet has gradually changed to contentgeneration, access, and sharing. Many Internet services and applications allow users to produce, share, and request information anytime and anywhere. Moreover, the number of mobile users has rapidly increased, resulting in a crucial problem in the IP network because it is based on locationaddresses. In addition, users do not care about the content’s location but the content itself in the mobile environment of the network. The proliferation of contents over the Internet was observed massively in the last decade. The design of current networking architecture was based onhost to host communication. The basic exchange of contents in the network was considered while designing the Internet. Gradually the use of Internet augmented with the huge exchange of data. Multimedia traffic such as voice and video streaming are being accessed from users. The current internetmodel has proved more sustainability then the provisioned capacity while at the time of designing the architecture. The voluminous growth of traffic over the internet has brought challenges for the exiting networking architecture. The information centric paradigm appeared to give efficientsolution towards content dissemination model. This is a content focused networking paradigm rather than host to host communication. Caching is one of the most important major components of information centric network. This research is intended to representing cache impact for critical attributesof networking. We have made a comparative analysis of in-network and edge network caching mechanism in simulation.
