Abstract:
There are provided measures for intelligent bearer setup configuration control. Such measures exemplarily comprise detection of at least one setup requirement for setup of a bearer, and selection of a termination point for a bearer between a first network element and a second network element among a plurality of available candidate termination points on the basis of the detected at least one setup requirement. For example in a LTE/LTE-A system environment, the setup configuration of a S1 bearer between eNB and SGW can be controlled on the basis of setup requirements for an E-RAB.
Abstract:
A secure storage for an X.509v3 digital certificate is provided (301, 302). Ports of a first and second apparatus (101, 102) are mutually authenticated (303) by using 802.1X based authentication and 802.1AR certificates. Traffic types are divided (304, 305) by an operator-configurable selector function into user plane, control plane, synchronization plane, and management plane traffic types. For Ethernet transport a virtual port is created for each traffic type, and a different MACsec secure connectivity association is created for each virtual port. For Ethernet transport an operator-programmable security policy is maintained for each traffic type. For IP transport an IPsec security association is created for each traffic type, and an operator-programmable security policy is maintained for each security association. For IP transport, TLS support may be enabled for compatibility with network management traffic. A port is repeatedly re-authenticated by an operator-definable timer value.
Abstract:
A method including storing, at a first apparatus, information for identifying at least one data bearer, wherein the information includes an address and at least one further identifier for the data bearer; and wherein the data bearer is configured between s the aid first apparatus and one of a second apparatus and a third apparatus; and in response to receiving information, moving the at least one data bearer between the second apparatus and the third apparatus.
