Mobile core cloud connection router

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• obtaining a performance metric associated with a first computing device;
• determining that the performance metric does not satisfy a performance metric threshold resulting in a determination;
• based on the determination, connecting to a virtual core network instance implemented by a second computing device resulting in a connection;
• in response to the connecting, initializing a virtual router function based on a routing table;
• and
• routing, via the virtual router function, network traffic between the virtual core network instance and a third computing device.

A method, comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, a performance metric associated with a first computing device;
• determining, by the processing system, that the performance metric does not satisfy a performance metric threshold resulting in a determination;
• based on the determination, facilitating, by the processing system, a connection to a virtual core network instance implemented by a second computing device;
• in response to the facilitating of the connection, initializing, by the processing system, a virtual router function based on a routing table;
• and
• routing, by the processing system, via the virtual router function, network traffic between the virtual core network instance and a third computing device.
