Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of at least one of a source application node in a source multi-access edge computing (MEC) network or of a target application node in a target MEC network, which when executed cause at least one of the source application node or the target application node to:
establish an application service session for accessing by an end device located within a first coverage area of the source MEC network;
register the application service session and the end device for an inter-MEC session relocation service with respect to a target MEC network associated with a second coverage area;
instantiate a target application node in the target MEC network responsive to a session mobility request;
request an application context with the source application node;
determine whether the registration of the application service session and the end device includes an application relocation possibility indicator;
configure, for the source application node based on a determination that the registration includes the application relocation possibility indicator, a timer value for routing of data traffic associated with the application service session; and
route, before an expiration of the timer value, the data traffic from the end device to the source application node.
