Zusammenfassung:A method and an arrangement in a mobile communication network infrastructure are provided. The solution comprises implementing (300) core network and radio access network parts of the mobile communication network utilising a single layer of virtualized network function (VNF) components, where a given VNF component is designated to serve a given user equipment. At least part of traffic directed to given user equipment is routed (302) through a routing arrangement comprising a set of routers to the VNF component serving the user equipment. When the VNF component serving the user equipment is changed, the routing arrangement is updated (304) with the change.
