1. A method of optimizing content delivery at a processing element in a dynamic content delivery architecture, the method comprising the steps of:

  • receiving a content and metadata envelope at the processing element;

    checking the content and metadata envelope to determine whether the content and metadata envelope includes metadata for said processing element;

    if said content envelope contains metadata for said processing element, extracting and caching said metadata;

    if said content envelope does not contain metadata for said processing element, retrieving metadata for a content provider associated with the content from a cache on the processing element; and

    applying said extracted or retrieved metadata to said content and metadata envelope.
