Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for a first network slice selector that assigns data messages received from endpoint devices located within a first geographic range to multiple network slices. The method receives a data message from a mobile endpoint device located within the first geographic range. The data message belongs to a connection between the mobile endpoint device and a network domain that began when the mobile device was located in a second geographic range. The method retrieves state that maps the connection to a particular network slice of the network slices from a second network slice selector that assigns data messages received from endpoint devices within the second geographic range to the network slices. The method assigns the data message to the particular network slice.
