A follow-up to Chadd's NANOG 17 tutorial, this session will cover some of the raw cache statistics from heavy-use caches deployed throughout a large European telco network. Statistical information will be presented covering general usage patterns through object-distributions, and the presenter will explain how to optimise for these.

Finally, a test cache will be built on the spot showing how to construct a cache from the ground up through to configuring and placing online.
