As your transfers seems big, I think it's ok to open separate (push)
socket for each transfer. (Or just have a separate socket connected to
each server).
I.e. in the "clear to send" message server gives and address where to
connect to for sending message.

Creating sockets for each transfer is antipattern if you are doing it
hundred times per second, but for your use case  it may be cleaner
than router to router connection.
