Most Relevant Prior Art:

Based on the descriptions and potential anticipation, the following references appear to be most relevant:

  1. US8463877B1 (Amazon Technologies, Inc., "Dynamically translating resource identifiers for request routing using popularity information"): This patent directly addresses using popularity information to dynamically translate resource identifiers for routing, which aligns very closely with the core innovation of US10057322B2 in generating a modified embedded resource based on delivery parameters like popularity. It could potentially anticipate claims 1, 2, 3, 9, 11, and 15.
  2. US8756341B1 (Amazon Technologies, Inc., "Request routing utilizing popularity information"): Similar to US8463877B1, this patent also emphasizes the use of popularity information for request routing, making it highly relevant to the novelty of US10057322B2. It could potentially anticipate claims 1, 2, 3, 9, 11, and 15.
  3. US20140280479A1 (Edgecast Networks, Inc., "Dynamic Tag Management for Optimizing Content Delivery"): The concept of "Dynamic Tag Management" for optimizing content delivery, particularly the use of tags and dynamic modification, is highly pertinent to the tagging mechanism and modified embedded resources described in US10057322B2. It could potentially anticipate claims 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, and 15.

These three patents stand out due to their direct relevance to using dynamic information (especially popularity) and tagging mechanisms to influence content delivery and address resolution, which are central to the claims of US10057322B2.
