<p>In delivering contents over a mobile network, network congestion is to be avoided. From a cache server that temporarily retains at least part of a plural number of contents stored in a storage apparatus, a controller receives an access frequency to the contents and a load state of the cache server. The controller also receives, from a packet forwarding apparatus, information of a terminal being or not being in a service area. The controller decides that a content an access frequency to which is higher than a predetermined threshold value will be allocated to two or more of the plural number of the cache servers predetermined. The controller also decides that at least part of the other contents will be allocated to the plural number of the cache servers using at least one out of the access frequency, the load state, the information of a terminal being or not being in a service area and topology information of the mobile network. The controller instructs the cache servers to retain the contents depending on the decided allocation.</p> |
