Summary:The invention relates to a method for establishing a data plane session of or for a user equipment with a telecommunications network using an access network of the telecommunications network, wherein establishing the data plane session requires the existence of a data path in or through a forwarding entity of the telecommunications network, the forwarding entity especially being part of the access network or being an IP edge network node,wherein the data path within the forwarding entity is or corresponds to a programmed data path in or through a forwarding entity being defined, at least in part, by means of data path configuration information, data path configuration information, at least partly, being used - while the data path being in operative use - to identify the respective user equipment and/or the respective data plane session using the data path,wherein in order to establish or to set up the data plane session, the method comprises the following steps:-- in a first step, the data path is established and/or configured, and exists within the forwarding entity as an at least partly programmed and/or pre-provisioned data path, comprising the data path configuration information,-- in a second step, subsequent to the first step, the data plane session is established, especially after being requested by the user equipment, wherein establishing the data plane session of or for the user equipment involves the data plane session and/or the user equipment to be assigned to the existing pre-provisioned data path.
