There are provided measures for assisted distributed gateway selection. Such measures exemplarily comprise (as control plane network entity functionality in a mobile network scenario where an access of a terminal to a network is movable between at least two base stations and routable in parallel via at least one local gateway and a centralized gateway) detecting movement of said access of said terminal from a first base station to a second base station, determining that a first network route which is a current network route from said terminal via a first local gateway which is a current local gateway of said at least one local gateway provides less network performance than a second network route from said terminal via a second local gateway of said at least one local gateway based on a result of said detecting, and deciding said second local gateway as a target local gateway for said terminal based on a result of said determining.
