Abstract

According to one general aspect, a method may include monitoring a plurality of pre-fetch cache requests associated with a data stream. The method may also include evaluating an accuracy of the pre-fetch cache requests. The method may further include, based at least in part upon the accuracy of the pre-fetch cache requests, adjusting a maximum amount of data that is allowably pre-fetched in excess of a data stream's current actual demand for data.
