Abstract
The present technology discloses communication in a communications network. A source node receives a media file from a client device in the communications network. Contextual information in the file is obtained that is descriptive of content in the medial file. When a match to the media file is found, the contextual information is accessed from storage. Otherwise, the contextual information is generated by the source node by extracting attributes from metadata in the media file. The media file is then transmitted over a first data path, and the contextual information is transmitted over a second data path, where the first data path has a higher latency than the second data path such that the contextual information arrives at the destination node prior to the media file.
