Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a method for a network slice selector. From an electronic device, the method receives a connection initiation message for a connection between the electronic device and a network domain. The method exchanges a set of connection initiation messages with the electronic device to set up the connection. The method receives a data message belonging to the connection from the electronic device. The method selects one of multiple network slices to which the electronic device has access as the network slice for the connection based on analysis of the received data message. The method forwards the data message and subsequent data messages belonging to the connection onto the selected network slice to be delivered to the network domain.
