Systems and methods for intelligent routing and content placement in information centric networks

A content caching system enables an NDN network to place content closer to each end user(s) and to provide an explicit path for the target end user(s) to that content for better performance just in advance of users' anticipated request(s). The apparatus includes NDN routers and SDN controller employing a content commander, at least a content placement agent and at least one content analysis agent.
