Abstract:
A network device, such as a Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway (PGW), may receive network traffic, determine traffic processing services associated with a subscriber corresponding to the traffic, and identify a sequence of external traffic processing components to provide traffic processing services as though the external traffic processing components where part of the core network. The network device may modify the traffic in accordance with the sequence of external traffic processing components and forward the traffic to the first external traffic processing component of the sequence. The network device may later receive the traffic from the last external traffic processing component of the sequence, process the traffic in accordance with instructions provided by the external traffic processing components, and forward the traffic in accordance with a destination address of the traffic.

Claim (Index 11):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing a set of processor-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:\n receive a data packet; determine one or more traffic processing services to be applied to the data packet based on a subscriber identity associated with the packet; determine one or more external traffic processing components associated with the determined one or more traffic processing services, the one or more external traffic processing components being external to a core network with which the device is associated; modify the data packet to indicate the one or more external traffic processing components corresponding to the one or more traffic processing services; receive, from a Policy Charging and Rules Function associated with the core network or a Policy Control Function associated with the core network, at least one network rule corresponding to the core network; apply the at least one network rule to the data packet; and output the data packet to a first external traffic processing component, of the one or more external traffic processing components, wherein the outputting facilitates the one or more traffic processing services by the one or more external traffic processing components.
