A first processing device may receive, from a first network device, a tunneling protocol message associated with a tunnel to be established between the first network device and a second network device. The first processing device may determine, based on the tunneling protocol message, a device identifier of the second network device. The first processing device may determine that a second processing device is to process a flow associated with the first network device and the second network device based on the device identifier of the second network device. The first processing device may provide information that identifies that the second processing device is to process the flow to permit the second processing device to process the flow associated with the first network device and the second network device.

Flow processing migration

In general, techniques are described for modifying control plane messages for subscriber sessions with a network device to add and/or modify discrete information elements and thereby conform the messages to different versions of mobile network specifications, including roaming protocols, executed by different mobile networks or by heterogeneous infrastructure elements within a mobile network. In some examples, an input network interface of a network device receives a roaming protocol message on an interface connecting a first support node of a first mobile network and a second support node of a second mobile network. A roaming protocol module of the network device modifies the roaming protocol message by adding or modifying a discrete information element to conform the roaming protocol message to a roaming protocol of the second mobile network. An output network interface of the network device sends the modified roaming protocol message to the second support node.
