With high-level consumers you cannot control the assignment of partitions to consumers, and if partitions are located across all brokers each consumer is likely to connect to each of the brokers.
One (little hacky) thing you can do is to manually assign the partitions to brokers such that each broker i of topic t is in broker i % 3, the for consumer fetching partition i of topic t, it will only connect to broker i % 3. By default the assignment is not aligned hence you will likely to have TCP between each pair of consumer/broker.
