The present disclosure provides a system (108) and a method (600) for handling at least one data packet between a visited network and a home network. The system (108) includes at least one visited network function (NF). The at least one visited network function (NF) is configured to receive at least one router advertisement (RA) message from at least one home NF and extract at least one information element (IE) associated with a user equipment (UE) (104) from the RA message. The extracted IE is stored in a memory (204) associated with the visited NF for subsequent processing. The visited NF receives at least one data packet from the home NF and handles the data packet towards the UE (104) based on the stored IE.
