1. A machine-implemented method for processing network traffic of a packet network, the method comprising:
- routing packets of a first type within a first data flow to a destination through a packet core network;
in response to a detection that packets of a second type are to be routed while routing the first data flow, creating a second data flow which is a sub-flow of the first data flow; and
routing packets of the second type via the second data flow to the destination without traversing the packet core network, while continue to route packets of the first type via the first data flow traversing the packet core network.

Abstract
According to one aspect of the invention, packets of a first type within a first data flow are routed to a destination through a packet core network. In response to a detection that packets of a second type are to be routed while routing the first data flow, a second data flow is created which is a sub-flow of the first data flow. Packets of the second type are routed via the second data flow to the destination without traversing the packet core network, while packets of the first type are routed via the first data flow traversing the packet core network.

17. A network element, comprising:
-
a router to route packets of a first type within a first data flow to a destination through a packet core network; and a packet inspector, in response to a detection that packets of a second type are to be routed while routing the first data flow, to create a second data flow which is a sub-flow of the first data flow, wherein the router is configured to route packets of the second type via the second data flow to the destination without traversing the packet core network, while continue to route packets of the first type via the first data flow traversing the packet core network. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
