Method for improving routing distribution within an internet and system for implementing said method

A method for improving routing distribution within an internet through next hop selection between routers (R) identified by their respective IP addresses to direct data traffic from a source (S) identified by a source IP address and a source port identification to a destination (T) identified by a target port identification, said method including:

• determining equivalent routes toward the destination (T) host, each of said equivalent routes being defined by next router (R) IP address;
• performing a first predefined logical operation between said source (S) IP address, S port identification and T port identification to derive therefrom a connection identifier (H0);
• performing a second predefined logical operation between H0 and each next equivalent route R IP address, to derive next hop selection identifiers therefrom;
• and
• selecting the next hop based on a predefined criterion among said selection identifiers;
• wherein said equivalent routes determination is based on using conventional Open Short Path First (OSPF) and Per Packet Multipath methods and wherein said first predefined logical operation includes:
• aggregating said source (S) and destination (T) ports identifications into a single word (M1);
• and,
• performing a logical XOR operation between said word M1 and the word M2 representing the source (S) IP address to derive said connection identifier (H0).
