Abstract: This application discloses a connection establishment method implemented in an end node of the connection. The method includes: obtaining transmission status information of at least two available paths, the transmission status information of each available path of the at least two available paths indicates transmission performance of the each available path, the at least two available paths corresponding to different types of networks; determining a better available path with better transmission performance, the better available path determined based on the transmission status information of the at least two available paths; and establishing the connection using a network corresponding to the better available path.
