Data router connectivity to wireless communication slices

A data router to serve User Equipment (UEs) over network connections to network slices, the data router comprising:

• a memory configured to store an operating system and router applications comprising at least one of a network application and a connection application;
• processing circuitry coupled to the memory and configured to execute the operating system, and in response, execute the router applications including the network application and the connection application in router containers, wherein the router containers comprise at least one network container for the network application and at least one connection container for the connection application;
• the router applications configured to receive a container configuration, a connection configuration, and a slice configuration from the wireless communication network, transfer the container configuration to the operating system, generate performance information for the network connections, and transfer the performance information to the wireless communication network;
• the operating system configured to receive the container configuration from the router applications and control processing qualities of the containers based on the container configuration;
• and
• the router applications configured to prioritize the network connections to the network slices based on the slice configuration, exchange user data with the UEs, and exchange the user data with the network slices over the network connections using service qualities based on the connection configuration and data throughputs indicated by the connection configuration.
