Abstract: A device may monitor a session involving a first user equipment and a network. The device may determine that content associated with the session is cacheable based on a characteristic of the content. The device may determine a status of the first user equipment. The device may select, based on the status and the characteristic, the first user equipment to cache content data associated with the content and transmit a cache message to the first user equipment. The cache message may be configured to cause the first user equipment to cache the content data in a local data structure of the first user equipment. The device may perform an action associated with causing the first user equipment to provide the content to a second user equipment that requests the content via the network.
