DATA TRAFFIC ROUTING FOR INTERNET SERVICE CONNECTIVITY DISRUPTIONS IN A 5G COMMUNICATION NETWORK

Abstract: a method for routing data traffic for an internet service in a communication network includes detecting, using an internet service disruption routing module, a failure of a component in a first internet service chain in the communication network. the first internet service chain includes a first user plane function (upf) and a first internet interface, and has at least one assigned session. the method further includes selecting, using the internet service disruption routing module, at least one component of a second internet service chain, transmitting, using the internet service disruption routing module, a signal to a ran in the communication network indicating the selected at least one component of the second internet service chain, and redirecting, using the ran, data traffic for the at least one assigned session of the first internet service chain to the at least one component of the second internet service chain.
