Abstract
A method, apparatus, computer program, and system is provided that includes handling traffic management in a communication network system. One example may include activating a communication link, obtaining traffic management rules to handle the traffic flow on the communication link, and transferring the traffic management rules to at least one network element configured to implement the traffic management rules. The traffic management rules are configured to perform traffic management by transferring at least a portion of the network traffic to a different communication network.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- activating a communication link;
- obtaining traffic management rules to handle traffic flow on the communication link;
- transmitting the traffic management rules to at least one network element configured to implement the traffic management rules;
- and
- transferring at least a portion of the network traffic to a different communication network based on the traffic management rules.
A method comprising:
- determining a network element responsible for traffic management;
- and
- sending to the network element information containing access point name.
A method comprising:
- storing information about at least one access point name;
- determining if an access point name is subject to local breakout;
- receiving traffic management rules from a network element.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to activate a communication link and obtain traffic management rules to handle the traffic flow on the communication link;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the traffic management rules to at least one network element configured to implement the traffic management rules;
- wherein the traffic management rules are configured to perform traffic management by transferring at least a portion of the network traffic to a different communication network.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to determine at least one network element responsible for traffic management;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit information containing access point name;
- wherein the traffic management rules are configured to perform traffic management by transferring at least a portion of the network traffic to a different communication network.
An apparatus comprising:
- a storage for storing information about at least one access point name;
- a processor configured to determine if an access point name is subject to local breakout;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive traffic management rules from a network element;
- wherein the traffic management rules are configured to perform traffic management by transferring at least a portion of the network traffic to a different communication network.
