1. A computer-implemented method of communication in a communications network, comprising:
receiving, by a source node, at least a portion of a first media file from a client device in the communications network, the first media file including audio and/or video data;
obtaining, by the source node, contextual information that is descriptive of content in the audio and/or video data of the media file, by determining whether a match to the media file is located in storage
for a media file for which a match is located in storage, accessing the contextual information when a match to the media file is found in storage at the source node; and
for a media file for which a match is not located in storage, predicting the contextual information using one or more contextual prediction methodologies including extracting attributes from metadata in the media file; and
transmitting, by the source node to a destination node, the media file over a first data path and the contextual information over a second data path, wherein 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.
