Abstract
Embodiments of this application disclose a data connection method, a control-plane node, and user equipment, to provide a mechanism in which user equipment can access an external packet data network by using a local network. The method includes: sending, by a control-plane node, access information to user equipment, where the access information includes at least one access point name and Internet agent capability indication information for each access point name; receiving, by the control-plane node, a connection setup message sent by the user equipment, where the connection setup message includes a first access point name, and the first access point name is determined by the user equipment based on the Internet agent capability indication information; and determining, by the control-plane node, a corresponding local user-plane node based on the first access point name, and setting up a data connection from the user equipment to the local user-plane node.
