Implement a prefetching strategy based on the network connection #54

Description

@sshann

Currently, NAPPA makes no distinction between WiFi and cellular networks. All strategies just assume that unlimited Wi-Fi is available and that it is possible to download requests of any size. An idea could be implementing a conservative prefetching strategy that could be used for cellular networks. This, of course, presumes that the prefetching costs in bandwidth are non-negligible, where prefetching a false positive in a mobile data connection can have significative impacts in bandwidth usage.

One aspect to consider when discussing the bandwidth usage in mobile connections is the long tail problem (connection remaining open for sometime after requesting and receiving data). Read more here
