Abstract
A method and apparatus for content precaching is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises periodically checking servers in a networked environment for new content based on a profile, storing content identified as new on the servers in a cache accessible by an network access gateway, the network access gateway thereafter detecting whether a request is for at least a portion of the identified new content previously stored in the cache, and returning the at least a portion of the identified new content from the cache.
