Apparatus and method for selecting ip services

A method for determining an authorized IP service for an access terminal during an establishment of a PPP connection, comprising:

• establishing a data link with an access gateway;
• providing identifying information to identify the access terminal to the access gateway;
• receiving data indicative of the authorized IP service, the data corresponding to an IP Service Authorized Parameter, the IP Service Authorized Parameter for indicating the authorized IP service;
• establishing an IP connection with the access gateway by utilizing the authorized IP service;
• and
• configuring a mobility protocol according to the authorized IP service that corresponds to the IP Service Authorized Parameter.

A processing system configured to determine an authorized IP service for an access terminal during an establishment of a PPP connection, comprising:

• a first module for establishing a data link with the access terminal;
• a second module for requesting an authentication/authorization server to authenticate the access terminal;
• a third module for receiving an IP Service Authorized Parameter from the authentication/authorization server, the IP Service Authorized Parameter for indicating the authorized IP service for the access terminal;
• and
• a fourth module for configuring a network layer protocol according to the authorized IP service that corresponds to the IP Service Authorized Parameter;
• and
• a fifth module for configuring a mobility protocol according to the authorized IP service that corresponds to the IP Service Authorized Parameter.
