Abstract
A system and method in a packet network for optimally separating control and data in the context of mobile networking. The embodiments disclosed herein utilize virtualization and elastic computing in the context of a control plane while the user plane flexibility is realized by application programming interfaces (APIs) between a control and user plane. The control plane is configured to receive a notification that a mobile device is done sending or receiving a communication; store in a flow table flow information associated with the communication; receive a trigger for resumption of flow when the communication is to be resumed; and pass the flow information to a cache in a data plane.
