Along with the workload change comes a need to increase data throughput as well as significantly reduce latency. The workload change because these new use cases will result in a larger number of control messages generated. Secondly, with new use cases such as Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) communication, cellular traffic is likely to grow significantly. This is likely to cause a dramatic increase in the amount of hand-offs caused by device mobility, placing a considerable load on the cellular control plane.

#Clean slate protocol software
Driven by software and hardware limitations of earlier platforms, the control plane elements for handling mobility and device state management (the Mobility Management Entity (MME)) has been separated from the data plane (S&P gateways). Current cellular networks carry data over virtual tunnels that require considerable protocol overhead for setup.
