Abstract
A smart electronic information transport router which correctly transmits electronic information when connected to multiple parallel but bandwidth diverse transport channels is described herein. The smart electronic information transport router allows an electronic information publisher to label each electronic information object or object stream specifying minimum and maximum required transport/delivery throughput data rates for the various media types included within the electronic information being electronically published. The smart electronic information transport router will correctly transmit electronic information over the lowest cost transport channel containing enough free bandwidth to provide high quality transmission of electronic information when connected to multiple parallel bandwidth diverse transport channels.
