Higher numbers indicate higher priority, so a channel with priority of 50 has a higher priority than a channel with priority 25. The cross application domain channel has a priority of 100.

Client channels with higher priority are given the first chance to connect to a remote object specified by a URL or a particular channel data entry from a System.Runtime.Remoting.ObjRef.

For server channels, the priority indicates the order in which their channel data will appear in a System.Runtime.Remoting.ObjRef, which in turn affects the order in which clients will try to connect to the server object. If the server is listening on an HTTP channel with priority 50 and a TCP channel with priority 25 and the client has registered both an HTTP and TCP channel, then the client will use the HTTP channel to talk to the server.
