Abstract: A network device in a network edge receives content directed to a mobile device attached to the network edge from an upstream network device and forwards the content toward the mobile device. The network device makes a decision whether to cache the content based at least in part on a popularity of the content in a region covered by the network device and a prediction error for an estimated probability that the mobile device will transition from the region to another region. The popularity is directly correlated with a first bias toward caching the content. The prediction error is inversely correlated with a second bias toward caching the content. The decision is implemented: the network device either caches the content or foregoes caching the content, in accordance with the decision.

Abstract: Various embodiments of dynamically switching between query and scan for optimizing table reads are described. A particular client of a shared table can use various criteria in determining whether to query for individual entries in a table, or whether to scan the entire table. Criteria can be, in some embodiments, whether there are fewer than a threshold number of other clients accessing the same portion of the table as the particular client, or the size of the portion accessed by the client. If there are fewer than a threshold number of other clients accessing the same portion of the table, and the size of the portion is below a size threshold, for example, then querying individual entries in the table might be appropriate in those circumstances. By querying instead of scanning, for example, clients can reduce the total number of I/O operations per second on the shared table.
