with two levels of caching. The WAN that we refer to is the GRNET academic
network in Greece. We rely on log files collected at the network’s Transparent
cache (primary caching point), located at GRNET’s edge connection to the
Internet. Our prefetching model bases its predictions on popularity ranking of
passed requests. We present a “n-next most popular” approach used for prefetching
on GRNET’s architecture and provide preliminary results of our experimental
study, quantifying the benefits of prefetching on the WAN.1 aBouras, Christos1 aKonidaris, Agis1 aKostoulas, Dionisis  uhttps://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/most-popular-approach-predictive-prefetching-wan-efficiently-improve-www-response-times
