Arrangement and a method relating to access systems

A method for providing communication between end users and end users/service providers over an access network supporting communication of packet data in frames implementing Ethernet technology,

• characterized in
• that it comprises the steps of:
• determining/generating a unique identification comprising a combination of origination address and destination address information of a packet connection for a frame arriving at a point acting as, or being, an ingress point to the access network, at least for a connection between an end user and a service provider,
• encapsulating the frame and said identification in a new, transport frame,
• transporting the transport frame through the access network to the relevant egress point using the destination address information,
• de-encapsulating the created transport frame at the egress point,
• sending the original encapsulated frame on.
