Abstract
An approach is provided for creating mobile virtual routers (MVRs). A mobile virtual router is dynamically configured based on an application, wherein the mobile virtual router includes a control plane instance, a forwarding plane instance, and a management plane instance. Data associated with the application is forwarded over the network using the mobile virtual router. The control plane instance, the forwarding plane instance, and the management plane instance are moveable among the plurality of physical routers.
