Zusammenfassung:A transmitting device (15) for communication over a multiplicity of networks having a communication manager (22) and a mobility manager (20). The mobility manager (20) includes a database (40) having a net table (42) of potential networks and a filter (38). The filter (38) generates a prioritized list of qualifying networks over which a data object is to be transferred. Also described is a method for sifting through and filtering the net table (42) of potential networks and their characteristics. A prioritized list of qualifying networks is generated wherein each qualifying network has a priority. A transmission request is generated based on a combination of the data object and the prioritized list of qualifying networks and is transmitted over the selected qualifying network (26), (28), or (30) having a highest priority.
