Abstract

Examples include techniques to monitor control plane (CP) network traffic. Examples include monitoring CP traffic between one or more user equipment (UEs) wirelessly coupled to a network and a virtual network function arranged to process user plane (UP) traffic for an application service provided to the one or more UEs to determine whether at least a portion of the UP traffic needs to be routed to a different VNF for UP processing.
