## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
receiving, by a server, a request by a client device requesting an electronic media;
determining, by the server, a type of the electronic media requested by the client device;
determining, by the server, different communications paths to the client device based on the type of the electronic media requested by the client device; and
sending, by the server, an instruction to the client device to select a communications path of the different communications paths based on the type of the electronic media.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising sending the electronic media to the client device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising sending the electronic media via the communications path to the client device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising sending the electronic media to the client device.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising routing the electronic media to the client device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising associating a network interface to communications path.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising associating a network interface to the type of the electronic media.

### Claim 8

A system, comprising:
a hardware processor; and
a memory device, the memory device storing instructions, the instructions when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a request from a client device requesting an electronic media;
determining a type of the electronic media;
determining different communications paths to the client device, each different communications path of the different communications paths based on the type of the electronic media requested by the client device; and
sending an instruction to the client device to select a network interface to a network in response to the type of the electronic media requested by the client device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise sending the electronic media to the client device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise sending the electronic media to the client device.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise sending the electronic media via the network to the client device.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise routing the electronic media to the client device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise associating the network interface to the network.

### Claim 14 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise associating the network interface to the type of the electronic media.

### Claim 15

A memory device storing processor-executable instructions that when executed cause a hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a request from a client device requesting an electronic media;
determining a type of the electronic media;
determining different communications paths to the client device, each different communications path of the different communications paths based on the type of the electronic media requested by the client device; and
sending an instruction to the client device to select a network interface to a network in response to the type of the electronic media requested by the client device.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise sending the electronic media to the client device.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise sending the electronic media to the client device.

### Claim 18 (depends on 15)

The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise sending the electronic media via the network to the client device.

### Claim 19 (depends on 15)

The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise routing the electronic media to the client device.

### Claim 20 (depends on 15)

The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise associating the network interface to the network.
