Abstract
Technology related to managing network services using multipath protocols is disclosed. In one example, a method includes intercepting a multipath protocol request from a requesting host for a connection to a service. The multipath protocol request is intercepted by an intermediary server. A target host different than the intermediary server can be selected to provide the service. A multipath protocol packet can be sent from the intermediary server to the requesting host. The multipath protocol packet can add a subflow of the connection using an address of the target host. The subflow can enable a path between the requesting host and the target host that does not traverse the intermediary server.
