Abstract
A system and method for selectively handling requests for dynamic data processing. In the system and method, requests for dynamic data processing can be received in an origin server, but the dynamic data processing can be deferred to an edge server in those circumstances where it is dynamically determined that the edge server is capable of performing such dynamic data processing. In this way, network transmission latencies can be avoided by performing dynamic data processing in those edge servers closest to the requesting user.
