摘要:
A net-work node (1) of a telecommunication network (6) controls a play-out of cached content to a user equipment (2a, 2b). The network node retrieves an address contained in a response from the core network (5) to a request associated with the user equipment. If the network node detects that the address is associated with a defined server, e.g. a credit refill server or an advertisement server, the play-out of cached content to the user equipment is disabled. The play-out is activated again when a response to an additional request contains an address that is associated with another source than said defined server.

Methods and apparatus for a providing information to a core network where a terminal exchanges data with a cache in an access network. The node stores data in the cache. Data is exchanged between the cache and the terminal, and information relating to the exchanged data is provided to the core network. This allows the core network to apply normal core network functions such as LI, charging and policy control, 10 even when the data does not pass through the core network.

A system and a method are described herein which provide for congestion handling in a packet switched network domain. In case of congestion, overload is measured by a core node, the data packets in proportion to the overload are marked and the signaled overload is stored. At least one egress node receives marked and not marked packets, decodes and counts the overload from the marked packets in a counting interval. Congestion report messages are sent to ingress nodes where flows are terminated.

Information about virtual private networks -VPNs - in each domain (10A-E) of a multi-domain communications system (1) is provided. By comparing a request (31) for a configuration of a VPN with the provided information of other connected domains, a match can be found. VPN configuration can then be performed based on the outcome of the match. The provided domain VPN information is in one embodiment spread to other domains under constrictions put by SLAs between domain operators. The spreading of VPN information can be performed regularly or triggered by an external event. In another embodiment, the VPN configuration request is instead spread to different domains.

Method and apparatus for controlling transmission of data packets in a packet-switched network. When a first end-host (A) sends an address query to a DNS system (300) for a second end-host, the DNS system responds by providing a sender key created from a destination key registered for the second end-host, if the first end-host is authorised to send packets to the second end-host. Thereby, the first end- host, if authorised, is able to get across data packets to the second end-host by attaching a sender tag (TAG) generated from the sender key, as ingress tag to each transmitted data packet. A router (302) in the network matches an ingress tag in a received packet with entries in a forwarding table and sends out the packet on an output port (X) according to a matching entry. Otherwise, the router discards the packet if no matching entry is found in the table.

A technique for transferring network traffic between a radio base station (RBS) node and a gateway (GW) node of a mobile telecommunications network is described. A method embodiment comprises the steps of providing a first transport link and a second transport link between the RBS node and the GW node. The first transport link is configured to transport network traffic of a higher priority and the second transport link is configured to transport network traffic of a lower priority. The method further comprises distributing network traffic over the transport links depending on an assignment between the transport links and priority settings associated with the network traffic.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for selecting a network resource from a plurality of network resources in a communications network. A selection node receives a request for a network resource from a terminal, and then retrieves, from at least one further network node, data relating to the plurality of network resources. On the basis of the retrieved data, the selection node selects a network resource from the plurality of network resources. A response is then sent to the terminal, the response including information identifying the selected network resource.

In a telecommunications system (20) a transport network (26) for connecting a wireless access network (22) to a backbone network (24), an example embodiment of an overlay mobile network (40) comprises a point-to-multipoint tunnel having tunnel segments formed in a tree topology and being configured to direct traffic to a mobile node (30). The overlay mobile network (40) further comprises mobility aware routers (44) of the transport network (40), the mobility aware routers (44) serving as nodes of the tree topology of the tunnel and being configured to perform mobility functions such as mobility routing and layer 3 (L3) address assignment. These mobility functions interact in a mobility control and management plane.
