MESSAGE REQUIREMENTS BASED ROUTING OF MESSAGES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented message system, comprising:
- an input component of a transport server for receiving a message for delivery to a compatible destination, the message having message requirements that designate delivery over a compatible transport path; and
a routing component of the transport server for routing the message over the compatible transport path to the destination according to the message requirements.

Abstract
Architecture for enabling messages to be routed between network servers based on message requirements related to version, capabilities, and features, for example. The message requirements designate delivery over a transport path compatible with the message requirements. The message requirements can include a particular version or other features related to different software applications that require compatibility in message handling. Routing information is maintained related to a transport server or other network transport entity compatible with the message requirements and through which the message can be routed. The message is routed to the compatible transport server for delivery to the destination while avoiding delivery to transport servers incompatible with the message requirements.
