    Abstract: A mesh network device includes a content repository including a first section to store original data and a second section to store cached data, and an application processor including a user space, kernel space, and an on-path data caching engine. The on-path data caching engine is to receive, from a second mesh network device, data frames via a data link layer of a TCP/IP mesh network. The data frames include audio or video content. The on-path data caching engine is further to store the data frames in a socket kernel buffer, determine that a third mesh network device is a destination for the data frames, and forward the data frames to the third mesh network device. The on-path data caching engine is to determine that the audio or video content is to be cached and asynchronously copy the audio or video content to the second section of the content repository.
