Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure enable a router controller to maintain a default rules table indicating allocation of IP addresses (of GTP packets) to respective output ports. In an embodiment, the router controller receives information indicating the respective tunnel endpoint IP addresses of a control session and a data session of a user. The router controller is configured to determine whether such IP addresses of the control session and the data session(s) are allocated to the same output port. If the IP addresses of the control session and the data session are not allocated to the same output port, router controller is configured to generate a dynamic rule to force packets of both the control session and the data session to the same output port.
