Claim 18:
19. A method of selectively routing data communications between an access network and a packet data network and between the access network and a wireless operator core network, comprising:
providing a wireless access gateway (WAG) with network connectivity to the access network, the wireless operator core network, and the packet data network, wherein the packet data network resides outside of the wireless operator core network, and wherein the wireless operator core network is a central part of a mobile network to which the WAG provides direct connectivity;
receiving by the WAG via the access network a first data packet intended for a first computer system included in the wireless operator core network, the first data packet comprising a source address and a destination address;
selectively routing, by the WAG, the first data packet to the first computer system via the wireless operator core network;
receiving by the WAG via the access network a second data packet intended for a second computer system included in the packet data network, the second data packet comprising the source address and the destination address; and
selectively routing, by the WAG, the second data packet to the second computer system via the packet data network while bypassing the wireless operator core network.
