Abstract: A data communication network controls the amounts of virtual network elements it uses. A control system processes user data packets from multiple wireless base stations to determine amounts of user data packet tunnels for a plurality of Quality-of-Service (QoS) levels. The control system processes the amounts of the user data packet tunnels for the QoS levels to identify a target amount of virtual packet gateways to serve the user data packet tunnels. A virtual network element system implements the target amount of the virtual packet gateways to serve the user data packet tunnels at the QoS levels with the virtual packet gateways.

Abstract: An LTE network, having a plurality of base stations and S-GWs, processes GTP packets to determine an amount of GTP tunnels between the base stations and the S-GWs gateways. The LTE network processes the amount of GTP tunnels to determine a target amount of LTE P-GWs to serve the base stations. If the target amount of the LTE P-GWs is greater than a current amount of the LTE P-GWs, then an additional amount of virtual LTE P-GWs is implemented to serve the base stations. If the target amount of the LTE P-GWs is less than the current amount of the LTE P-GWs, then an extra amount of the virtual LTE P-GWs that serve the base stations are removed.
