Abstract: A user plane selection mechanism is provided that leverages an in-band load balancing scheme, e.g., Segment Routing Load Balancing (SRLB). Information in the form of segment identifiers (complemented by metadata) is passed to the components. As a result, the effective user plane function selection can be done in-band at the transport level.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods that are effected in or by an electronic device in response to establishing and/or terminating a physical communications link are described. An electronic device may be entered into deep sleep and may include a power control circuit that activates the device out of deep sleep in response to establishing a physical communications link with a source of electric power, such as another electronic device. Either in combination with or separate from this, an electronic device may establish wireless communications with another electronic device in response to establishing and terminating a physical communications link with the other electronic device. The physical communications link may be used to transfer device identity data from one device to the other and thereby bypass the cumbersome “discovery” process common to conventional wireless communication techniques. Portable electronic devices and personal computing devices that are operative to perform the above are described.
