Abstract
System and methods for efficient serving gateway and packet data gateway selections are described. A mobile device may attempt transmit an attach request to a network requesting packet data services in a particle protocol. A control plane of a serving gateway may receive the attach request and determine a serving gateway user plane that is configured to operate in the specified protocol. The serving gateway control plane may then propagate the determined serving gateway user plane to a packet data network gateway control plane for selection of the serving gateway user plane and a corresponding packet data network gateway user plane for use in providing packet services to the mobile device.
