Abstract
In various examples there is a telecommunications network access point of a telecommunications network in which the control plane is implemented using a data center comprising a plurality of interconnected computation nodes. The access point comprises a memory holding a log of encapsulated control messages the control messages being messages of a control protocol of the telecommunications network. The access point has a processor configured, for a control message to be sent by the access point to a node in the data center, to: generate a message identifier; encapsulate the control message in a packet of a communications protocol of the data center, add the message identifier to a header of the encapsulated control message; send the encapsulated control message to the node of the data center; and store a record of the encapsulated control message and node of the control plane in the log.
