The current Internet model has proved more sustainable then the provisioned capacity at the time when the architecture was designed.The voluminous growth of traffic over the Internet has brought challenges for the exiting networking architecture.The information centric paradigm appears to offer efficient solution towards content dissemination model.It is a content-focused networking paradigm rather than host-to-host communication. Caching is one of the major components of information centric networks.This paper is intended to explore the impact of cache on critical attributes of networks.We have made a comparative analysis of in-network and edge network caching mechanism using network simulation.The results proved that in-network caching mechanism is far better than network edge caching with improved throughout, increase link capacity to avoid congestion.
