Abstract:
A method includes requesting, by a first wireless intelligent content acceleration (WICA) unit, content from a provider and receiving, by the first WICA unit, a first transmission over a backhaul link, the first transmission being based on the request. The method also includes determining whether the first transmission includes a signature without a first block of data or the signature and the first block of data. Additionally, the method includes, upon determining that the first transmission includes the signature without the first block of data, retrieving the first block of data from a content cache in accordance with the signature, and, upon determining that the first transmission includes the signature and the first block of data, saving the signature and the first block of data in the content cache. Also, the method includes processing the first block of data.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method for pre-fetching files includes parsing a project file to produce a parsed project file and extracting a plurality of files from the parsed project file to produce a file list. The method also includes retrieving, by a caching device from a file server over a network, the plurality of files in accordance with the file list and storing the plurality of files in a cache.
Abstract:
Files and/or file updates can be pre-fetched from a server to reduce file access periods as well as shift network usage from high traffic periods to low traffic periods. For example, a file that was previously expelled from a cache can be pre-fetched from the server prior to a future period in which a client is likely to re-access the file. As another example, a file update for a file that remains stored in the cache can be pre-fetched from the server prior to a future period in which a client is likely to re-access the file. The file update may then be used to update the stored file. The file and/or updated-file can then be provided directly from the cache to the client when the client re-accesses the file.
