Claim One:
1. A system for data offload using a distributed network architecture, comprising: a base station, wherein the base station is a microcell, picocell, or a femtocell, the base station comprising a processor configured to: receive user plane data from a user plane; perform cellular Packet Core Network (PCN) functionality on the user plane data; and filter Internet Protocol (IP) traffic from the user plane data to send the IP traffic to the Internet including decoding packets to determine how to route the packets using at least one or more of the following: radio bearer string(s) and Quality of Service (QoS) classification indicator(s), comprising to: before performing of the cellular PCN functionality on the user plane data: determine whether the user plane data includes the IP traffic based on the at least one or more of the following: the radio bearer string(s) and the Quality of Service (QoS) classification indicator(s); and in the event that the user plane data includes the IP traffic, route the packets of the IP traffic from the user plane data to the Internet without performing the cellular PCN functionality on the routed packets, wherein the IP traffic from the user plane is thereby offloaded from centralized cellular core networks; and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
