Abstract
A method implemented by a network device functioning as a source gNodeB in a cellular communication network to support incremental deployment of identifier locator network protocol (ILNP) breakout in the cellular communication network. The method includes sending a list of data network names (DNNs) advertised by an access and mobility management function (AMF) to a user equipment (UE), receiving from the UE a first request for a first session with an ILNP session and service continuity (SSC) mode, facilitating the UE establishing a first packet data network (PDN) session associated with a UE selected DNN, where the first PDN session requests the ILNP SSC mode, receiving from the UE a second request for a second session to the selected DNN using a non-ILNP SSC mode, and facilitating the UE establishing a second PDN session to the selected DNN using the non-ILNP SSC mode.
