1. A data traffic separation method for use in a packet-oriented mobile radio network, comprising:
separating data traffic arising in an access node of the mobile radio network, the data traffic including a plurality of layer 2 connections comprising a plurality of data flows in each case, with respect to connection-specific and/or data flow-specific handling, and is optionally routed proportionately via a processing unit performing such handling, wherein
a control function within the access node decides, based on the application-specific information and/or the local information of an information unit integrated in an access node whether a layer 2 connection is to be routed via the processing unit where, based on the application-specific information and/or the local information, connection-specific and/or data flow-specific handling is carried out in each case.
