The transport broker entity is configured to provide at least one mobile transport unit that is configured to transport at least one object. The transport broker entity includes a first peer-to-peer module configured to communicate with at least a first peer-to-peer application of a first peer-to-peer network. The transport broker entity also includes a first entity having a peer-to-peer module configured to communicate with at least the first peer-to-peer application of the first peer-to-peer network. At least upon a triggering by the first peer-to-peer module of the transport broker entity and/or the peer-to-peer module of the first entity, the first peer-to-peer application is configured to generate an object transport agreement about the physical transport of the object between the first entity and a further entity at least partly by means of the mobile transport unit.
