Original Abstract Submitted

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for enhancing local breakout sessions in roaming scenarios. In the context of a method, the method includes receiving a request comprising an information, where the information comprises at least one of: an application function (AF) identifier associated with a user equipment (UE) that is associated with an existing home routed-session breakout (HR-SBO) packet data unit (PDU) session; or an internet protocol (IP) address of the UE that is associated with the existing HR-SBO session. The method further includes determining, based on the information, a data network name (DNN) and single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) of the existing HR-SBO PDU session associated with the UE. The method further includes sending, in a response to the request, the determined DNN and the S-NSSAI.
