Abstract

A system/router that flexibly routes Wi-Fi offloaded data receives a data packet from a user equipment via an access point of a Wi-Fi network. The data packet includes an access point name (“APN”) and an Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. The system defines two or more routing policies, each routing policy including a routing criteria and a priority. The system evaluates the data packet based on the routing policies, and routes the data packet to one of at least two possible destinations based at least on the routing policies, including the priorities.
