1. A method for reducing transmission pathway lengths within a computer network, the method comprising:

  • receiving a resource request for accessing a resource, the resource access request sent to a request server from a client device via the computer network;

    identifying a data server capable of servicing the resource access request;

    sending a migrate socket request from the request server to the identified data server, wherein the data server establishes a socket based on socket state information in the migrate socket request; and

    updating routing tables stored at one or more routers, wherein the update includes a new route associated with the established socket, the new route reducing a number of hops between the data server and the client device in comparison to at least one other route stored in the routing tables, and wherein the resource access request is serviced by the established socket that sends information related to the resource access request via the new route.
