Abstract
Methods and apparatus for switching nodes from a current packet data connection point to a new packet data connection point are provided. According to one embodiment of the invention, at least one group of nodes that are in communication with a network infrastructure using a first packet data connection point are identified (304) based, at least in part, on at least one predefined criterion. This group of selected nodes is then reestablished (306) using a second packet data connection point.
