Abstract
One object of the present invention is a method for routing traffic across an IP-based transport network in a mobile network, to/from a mobile network node serving a mobile terminal, said method comprising the steps of: allocating a dedicated IP address to said mobile terminal for traffic routing purpose within said IP-based transport network, tunnelling said traffic across said IP-based transport network, using a mobile network specific tunnelling protocol, with the IP address of a tunnel endpoint corresponding to said serving node set to said dedicated IP address allocated to said mobile terminal.

A method for routing traffic across an IP-based transport network in a mobile network, to/from a mobile network node serving a mobile terminal, said method comprising the steps of:
- allocating a dedicated IP address to said mobile terminal for traffic routing purpose within said IP-based transport network,
- tunnelling said traffic across said IP-based transport network, using a mobile network specific tunnelling protocol, with the IP address of a tunnel endpoint corresponding to said serving node set to said dedicated IP address allocated to said mobile terminal.
A mobile network entity, comprising, for routing traffic across an IP-based transport network in said mobile network, to/from a mobile network node serving a mobile terminal:
- means for allocating a dedicated IP address to said mobile terminal, for traffic routing purpose within said IP-based transport network.
