Abstract

The application relates to a method for operating a traffic splitter provided for a data packet flow flowing through the data plane. The data packet flow is received and it is determined whether the data packet flow should be transmitted through an Evolved Packet Core, EPC, processing path or through a Software Defined Network, SDN, processing path based on information provided in the data packets of the data packet flow and it is transmitted either through the EPC processing path or the SDN processing path based on the determination.
