The invention relates to a method of optimizing the loading of a network connections hub, in which the data packets sent or received by a client device compatible with a given multipath connection protocol are intercepted by a hub reachable from at least one network to which said client device is connected, said hub making it possible to aggregate connections utilizing a plurality of paths liable to be used by the client device. Said method is noteworthy in that it comprises the following steps: a) the client device sends a message (SYN) for establishing connection with an opposite party; b) said message for establishing connection is intercepted by the hub; c) the hub dispatches to said opposite party a message for establishing connection (SYN) whose source address, termed the first address, is identical to one of the addresses (IP@c) of the hub; d) the hub dispatches to the opposite party information comprising another address, termed the second address; and e) the hub notifies the opposite party that it must switch the session associated with said first address (IP@c) in such a way as to associate it with said second address. Application to the MPTCP (multipath TCP) protocol. |
