Abstract: The present invention relates to a proxy apparatus and to a caching method of same. The caching method of the proxy apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: receiving a transmission request for content that can be divided into a plurality of blocks and instruction information for the playback position of the content from an external device; obtaining a header block that includes the header of the content when receiving the transmission request; identifying an intermediate block that corresponds to the playback position using the header; requesting and obtaining the intermediate block through a network when the identified intermediate block is not cached in the proxy apparatus; and transmitting to the external device at least a portion of the header and at least a portion of the intermediate block corresponding to the request. According to one embodiment of the present invention, even in a case where the size of a piece of content is great but only a specific portion is used, an efficient caching method and apparatus can be provided.
