1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a session management function, a parameter of service quality for a session between a user equipment and a data network via a user plane of a communication system;
evaluating, at the session management function, the parameter; and
based on the evaluation, initiating, at the session management function, re-location of a user plane function on the user plane for the session,
wherein the initiating re-location of the user plane function comprises re-selecting, for the session, at least one user plane function of a plurality of user plane functions on the user plane of the communication system, that meets the parameter of service quality for the session, and
wherein the parameter of service quality comprises user plane latency for the session.
