Method and system for multipoint access within a mobile network

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a processing system including a processor, a packet data protocol session that supports a first exchange of data between a mobile application of a first mobile device and a first recipient device wherein the first exchange of data comprises a directing of the first exchange of data through a network element;
• obtaining a request to identify a second recipient device, prior to a time of initiation of the first exchange of data;
• in accordance with the request, determining, by the processing system, the second recipient device;
• and
• facilitating, by the processing system, a second exchange of data between the mobile application and the second recipient device by way of the packet data protocol session,
• wherein the packet data protocol session comprises a first point-to-point link between the mobile application and a first port of the network element and a second point-to-point link between a second port of the network element and the first recipient device,
• wherein the second exchange of data also comprises a directing of the second exchange of data through the network element without modifying the first exchange of data,
• wherein the second port of the network element is one of a plurality of ports of the network element providing a plurality of secure data connections, wherein each of the plurality of secure data connections is associated with a different predefined port of the plurality of ports of the network element.

A machine-readable storage device, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• identifying a packet data protocol session that supports a first data exchange between a mobile application of a first mobile device and a first recipient device, wherein the first data exchange comprises a directing the first data exchange through a network device via a first port of the network device;
• obtaining a request to identify a second recipient device, prior to a time of initiation of the first data exchange;
• in accordance with the request, determining the second recipient device;
• and
• facilitating a second data exchange between the mobile application and the second recipient device by way of the packet data protocol session, wherein the second data exchange is also directed through the network device without modifying the first data exchange, the second data exchange directed via a second port of the network device,
• wherein the second port of the network device is one of a plurality of ports of the network device providing a plurality of secure data connections, wherein each of the plurality of secure data connections is associated with a different predefined port of the plurality of ports of the network device.
