Abstract
A local gateway and router device is configured to route uplink IP packets from a base station to a network element of a wireless local area network (WLAN) by configuring an IP route for the uplink IP packets based on a source IP address of the uplink IP packets. The source IP address is obtained from the WLAN; the uplink IP packets originate from a user equipment application having the source IP address; and the uplink IP packets have an indicator indicating that the uplink IP packets were received at the base station over a cellular link between the user equipment and the base station.
