Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A system, comprising: a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: accessing communication data associated with a user equipment, wherein the communication data is received by a serving support node device of a first communication network; based on time-dependent traffic projection data and first percentage data associated with the time-dependent traffic projection data, determining a first portion of the communication data that is to be directed to a first packet data network gateway device of a hierarchically defined second communication network; based on the time-dependent traffic projection data and second percentage data associated with the time-dependent traffic projection data, determining a second portion of the communication data that is to be directed to a second packet data network gateway device of the hierarchically defined second communication network; and in response to determining that that an expiration criterion has been satisfied, updating the first percentage data to facilitate a reduction in the first portion of the communication data, and updating the second percentage data to facilitate an increase in the second portion of the communication data.

2

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the communication data is determined in accordance with the second percentage data associated with the time-dependent traffic projection data.

3

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second packet data network gateway device is deployed at a regional data center device.

4

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the second portion of the communication data is associated with a service managed by the regional data center device.

5

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the communication data is associated with a voice over Internet protocol service.

6

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first packet data network gateway device is deployed at a national data center device.

7

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the first portion of the communication data is associated with a service managed by the national data center device.

8

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determining the first portion of the communication data comprises determining the first portion of the communication data based on defined policy data.

9

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determining the first portion of the communication data comprises determining the first portion of the communication data based on traffic data.

10

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the communication data is associated with a service that is determined to satisfy a defined latency criterion.

11

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the time-dependent traffic projection data is associated with transition model data.

12

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first percentage data is associated with transition model data.

13

13. A method, comprising: receiving, by a serving support node device of a first communication network and comprising a processor, communication data from a user equipment; based on time-dependent traffic projection data, selecting, by the serving support node device, a first portion of the communication data that is to be transmitted via a first packet data network gateway device of a hierarchically defined second communication network, wherein the selecting comprises selecting the first portion of the communication data based on first percentage data associated with the time-dependent traffic projection data; based on the time-dependent traffic projection data, selecting, by the serving support node device, a second portion of the communication data that is to be transmitted via a second packet data network gateway device of the hierarchically defined second communication network, wherein the selecting the second portion of the communication data comprises selecting the second portion of the communication data based on second percentage data associated with the time-dependent traffic projection data; in response to determining that that an expiration criterion has been satisfied and based on modifying the first percentage data, decreasing, by the serving support node device, the first portion of the communication data that is to be transmitted via the packet data network gateway device; and in response to the determining that that the expiration criterion has been satisfied and based on modifying the second percentage data, increasing, by the serving support node device, the second portion of the communication data.

14

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising: in response to determining that authentication data has been received from a data store of the hierarchically defined second communication network, facilitating, by the serving support node device, a transmission of the second portion of the communication data via the second packet data network gateway device.

15

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the selecting comprises selecting the second portion of the communication data that is associated with a voice over Internet protocol service.

16

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the decreasing comprises decreasing the first portion of the communication data based on traffic data.

17

17. A computer readable storage device comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a device comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising: selecting a first portion of communication data in accordance with a first fractional value associated with time-dependent traffic projection data, wherein the communication data has been transmitted to a serving support node device of a first communication network and wherein the first portion of the communication data is to be directed to a first packet data network gateway device of a hierarchically defined second communication network; based on the time-dependent traffic projection data, selecting a second portion of the communication data in accordance with a second fractional value associated with the time-dependent traffic projection data, wherein the second portion of the communication data is to be transmitted to a second packet data network gateway device of the hierarchically defined second communication network; and in response to determining that that an expiration criterion associated with the time-dependent traffic projection data has been satisfied, updating the first fractional value to facilitate a decrease in the first portion of the communication data, and updating the second fractional value to facilitate an increase in the second portion of the communication data.

18

18. The computer readable storage device of claim 17 , wherein the determining that the expiration criterion has been satisfied comprises determining that a defined time period has expired.
