Claim 9:
10. A method for operating a data handling component, the method comprising:
receiving, from a serving application instance, a replica of externalized session state data for a data session exchanged via a cellular network between the serving application instance and a user equipment, wherein the replica comprises a master replica and at least one slave replica;
receiving, from a replication control component, target replica location information and an instruction to distribute the replica to the target replica locations;
determining, from the target replica location information on a per data session basis, a target replica location of the master replica that is collocated at a first node as close as possible to the serving application instance and a target replica location of the at least one slave replica that is located in at least one second node which is a direct neighbor to the first node; and
distributing the replica of the session state data to the determined target replica locations.
