1. A method, comprising:
selecting, by a network device, a first user plane function for establishing, with a user equipment, a protocol data unit session with a single flow;
receiving, by the network device, an application function trigger associated with a first new flow for a first application of the user equipment; and
causing, by the network device, a first traffic filter for the first new flow to be provided to the user equipment to enable the user equipment to provide intra-UE inter-application uplink transmission prioritization to support a low latency multi-access edge computing application by routing first application traffic, based on the first traffic filter, to a second user plane function and a first multi-access edge computing device associated with the second user plane function.
