Abstract

Systems and methods provide a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) traffic breakout service to access an edge network. A network device receives reachability information for a user equipment (UE) device and sends, in response to receiving the reachability information, a reachability notification to a MEC orchestrator for the edge network. The network device receives, from the MEC orchestrator, a local breakout request that identifies a traffic flow authorized to receive local service from the edge network. The network device generates instructions for a gateway device to apply local breakout service, for the traffic flow, to a local MEC application in the edge network and sends the instructions to an anchoring gateway device for the traffic flow.
