Method and Arrangement in a Communications System

A method in a network node for selecting a gateway for a user equipment in a communications system, the communications system comprising the network node and one or more gateways, which gateways are configured to provide packet data network connectivity to the user equipment, the method comprising:

• detecting the presence of local gateways among said gateways;
• obtaining a first set of information indicating the type of the user equipment;
• and
• selecting, based on the first set of information, one of the detected local gateways to provide packet data network connectivity to the user equipment, when the user equipment type is of a fixed type.

A network node for selecting a gateway for a user equipment in a communications system, which communications system comprises one or more gateways, the gateways being configured to provide packet data network connectivity to the user equipment, the network node comprising:

• a detecting circuit configured to detect the presence of local gateways among said gateways;
• an obtaining circuit configured to obtain a first set of information indicating the type of the user equipment;
• and
• a selecting circuit configured to select, based on the obtained information, one of the detected local gateways to provide packet data network connectivity to the user equipment when the user equipment type is of a fixed type.
