  7. Abstract:
  8. The significant increase in the penetration of mobile phones and the significant growth of traffic generated in these networks has posed many challenges in the field of cost management, and the expansion of the existing network for mobile operators and has encouraged operators to change the current network architecture. On the other hand, the standard of the next mobile communication, i.e. the fifth generation, has a completely different architecture from the current architecture. Many of the logical and physical entities of the current network have undergone fundamental changes in the new network, and at first glance it does not seem that there is a direct transition from the previous generation to the new generation that will cause the two networks to coexist to the end. Therefore, the need to study and provide solutions in this field can accelerate this transition and pave the way for the introduction of new technologies. Technologies that have been have been introduced as a revolutionary title at the core of the new network, including software defined networks and virtualization of network functions, add very attractive capabilities to the network core. By integrating these technologies into the core of the mobile network, we are expected to see positive changes in the expansion, network management and cost control of operators. New network capabilities include automation of operations at the core of the network, increasing the level of abstraction by completely separating control and data planes from each other, separating software components from single-purpose hardware, and significant flexibility in network management due to increased levels of abstraction, Virtualization of network functions, the emergence of elastic architecture and the optimal use of available resources, as well as reducing network costs due to increased levels of abstraction. The purpose of this study is to develop flow driven GTP-U protocol, whose main task in the current network is to transfer user data to the external data network. Also, one of its applications is to provide a quality of service for various applications in the mobile network. It is hoped that with this implementation and the introduction of a software defined network into the current architecture, the way to transition to a new architecture will be easier
