Multi-bitrate component sharding

Embodiments provide for multi-bit rate component sharding, wherein processors are configured to identify respective sizes of each of different data partitions of a totality of content data of a moving picture experts group format file, the content data including audio data or video data. The processor is configured to determine bandwidth capacities for each of different telecommunication channels that are available to send the file content data to a designated recipient device; partition the file content data into differently-sized data groups, each of including audio data or video data; and differentially rout the data groups to ones of the channels as a function of matching data group data sizes to the channel bandwidth capacities.
