Abstract
A method performed by a first network node for controlling user plane traffic flows relating to wireless devices in a wireless telecommunications network is provided. The first network node is configured to transmit the user plane traffic flows over a first transmission path to a second network node in the wireless telecommunications network. The first network node determines that a user plane traffic flow related to a wireless device is to be transmitted over a second transmission path to an intermediary network node configured to communicate with the first and second network nodes in the wireless telecommunications network based on the type of the user plane traffic flow, the wireless device related to the user plane traffic flow and/or the content of the user plane traffic flow. Then, the first network node controls the user plane traffic flow such that the user plane traffic flow is transmitted over the second transmission path to the intermediary network node in the wireless telecommunications network.
