Communication control method, and related network element

A communication control method, comprising:

• establishing, by a first service network element through a control plane network element, a service packet forwarding path between the first service network element and a first forwarding plane network element providing a forwarding service for the user terminal;
• and
• transmitting, by the first service network element, a service packet of the user terminal through the service packet forwarding path;
• wherein
• the first forwarding plane network element is determined by the control plane network element based on a received control request related to the user terminal.

A control plane network element, comprising:

• a receiving unit, configured to receive a control request related to a user terminal that accesses a network through a first base station;
• a determining unit, configured to determine, based on the control request, a first service network element providing a service for the user terminal;
• wherein
• the determining unit is further configured to determine a first forwarding plane network element providing a forwarding service for the user terminal;
• and
• a path establishing unit, configured to establish a service packet forwarding path between the first service network element and the first forwarding plane network element to transmit a service packet of the user terminal.

A first service network element, comprising:

• a path establishing unit, configured to establish a service packet forwarding path between the first service network element and a first forwarding plane network element providing a forwarding service for the user terminal;
• and
• a sending unit, configured to transmit a service packet of the user terminal through the service packet forwarding path;
• wherein
• the first forwarding plane network element is determined by the control plane network element based on a received control request related to the user terminal.
