A method in a network node for handling a traffic flow of a User Equipment, UE. The network node creates a unique Network Address Translated, NAT:ed, Internet Protocol, IP, address mapping to an IP address of the UE. The NAT:ed IP address includes a local IP address prefix assigned to a related first local service cloud. The NAT:ed IP address is usable for the traffic flow both before and after a handover of the UE from the first local service cloud to a neighboring second local service cloud. The NAT:ed IP address is unique at least in all local service clouds neighboring to the first local service cloud, including the second local service cloud. The network node assigns the NAT:ed IP address to the UE for local break out of the traffic flow of the application session to the first local service cloud.
A method in a network node for handling a traffic flow of a User Equipment, UE, the network node being related to a first local service cloud, and the traffic flow is related to an application session served by the first local service cloud, the method comprising:
A network node for handling a traffic flow of a User Equipment, UE, the network node configured to be related to a first local service cloud, and the traffic flow is to be related to an application session served by the first local service cloud, the network node being configured to:
