A method for caching content data packages in caching nodes 2 of a network 1 comprising a plurality of nodes 2,8 and a plurality of data lines 5 that extend between adjacent of said nodes 2,8, wherein content data traffic is to be routed on traffic connections between a content data library server 7 and user nodes 8 is proposed. The method is comprising the steps of
- assigning a popularity value of each content data package to each caching node 2 having at least one user node 8 as an adjacent node,
- calculating a weighted request probability for each content data package at each caching node 2, preferably by combining each popularity value with a distance from the respective caching node 2 to the caching node to which the respective popularity value is assigned to,
- deciding which of the weighted request probabilities of the content data packages are fulfilling a predefined condition, and
- caching the respective content data packages in the caching nodes at which the weighted request probability of the content data package fulfils said predefined condition. |
