Abstract Named Data Network is a new architecture for future network. It is based on the importance of data sharing concept without using location based IP-Address. Caching is the technique to improve the performance of NDN. However the cache replacement in this technology is the decision making process. When memory become full then cache replacement techniques are used to take the decision in order to find which data item should be evicted from memory so that new arrival of data can be inserted. The purpose of this paper to enhance the NDN performance by develop the new cache replacement technique based on an online approximate policy iteration framework which enabled lightweight decision making named Policy Iteration Cache Replacement (PI-CREPL) which is hybrid approach of policy iteration and pending interest table based cache replacement technique i.e. PIT-REPL. Where PIT-REPL is cache replacement strategy that is based on pending interest table. Unlike classical Policy Iteration, the proposed approach (PI-CREPL) performs online and interval-based policy updates without requiring convergence of the value function, enabling adaptive cache replacement under dynamic traffic conditions. This PI-CREPL is used to make the optimal decision for eviction based on two concepts, one is the dynamic programming of MDP and second one is popularity of data Pending Interest Table for eviction. Simulation results show that PI-CREPL outperforms with, Priority FIFO, LRU and PIT-REPL methods in terms of cache hit ratio and latency across both tree and linear topologies.
