A user plane function UPF receives, from a SMF, a DU identification information for identifying a plurality of packets for one or more DUs of an application. The UPF receives a first plurality of packets, of the plurality of packets, of a first DU of the application; and a second plurality of packets, of the plurality of packets, of a second DU of the application. The UPF sends, to an access node and using the DU identification information a first GTP container comprising a first GTP header comprising a first number identifying the first plurality of packets, and a second GTP container comprising a second GTP header comprising a second number identifying the second plurality of packets.
