Abstract:
A method for operating a network that includes network functions that have a data-plane separated from a control-plane is provided. The network function of the network functions include network function components. The network function components include a control plane function and data plane functions. During runtime and in case of a predefined state of a first data plane function of the data plane functions, an existing subscription context of the first data plane function and associated data-plane traffic are offloaded to a second data plane function of the data plane functions.

Claim (Index 6):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein in case of the first data plane function and the second data plane function being represented by physical network entities, the second data plane function is located in a separate network part being different from the network part of the first data plane function.
