Method for managing a data path, mobility controller and communication system

In a method for managing a data path for a mobile entity (110) attached to a communication network, the communication network has a plurality of mobility binding entities (161, 162) for forwarding data traffic. A first mobility binding entity of the plurality of mobility binding entities (161, 162) is allocated to the data path for the mobile entity (110). In response to an update request for allocating mobility binding entity to the mobile entity (110), a second mobility binding entity of the plurality of mobility binding entities (161, 162) is allocated to the data path for the mobile entity (110). The allocation is based on at least one mobility parameter of the mobile entity (110).
