Abstract
A method at a user equipment to facilitate splitting of data billing between at least two parties, the method assigning a first subset of application to a first forwarding information base (“FIB”) on the user equipment; associating the first FIB with a first cellular data interface; activating the splitting of data billing on the user equipment; and replacing the association in the first FIB to the first cellular interface with an association between a second cellular data interface and the first FIB.
Claims20
A method at a user equipment to facilitate splitting of data billing between at least two parties, the method comprising:
- creating, within a first forwarding information base (“FIB”), an association of the first FIB to a first cellular data interface;
- activating the splitting of data billing on the user equipment;
- replacing, within the first FIB, the association of the first FIB to the first cellular data interface with an association between a second cellular data interface and the first FIB;
- and
- assigning an application a group identifier of the first FIB to migrate the application to the second cellular data interface.
A user equipment configured to facilitate splitting of data billing between at least two parties, the user equipment comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a communications subsystem, wherein the user equipment is configured to:
- create, within a first forwarding information base (“FIB”), an association of the first FIB to the first FIB with a first cellular data interface;
- activate the splitting of data billing on the user equipment;
- replace, within the first FIB, the association of the association in the first FIB to the first cellular data interface with an association between a second cellular data interface and the first FIB;
- and
- assign an application a group identifier of the first FIB to migrate the application to the second cellular data interface.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a user equipment, are configured to facilitate splitting of data billing between at least two parties, the instructions providing:
- creating, within the first FIB, an association of the first FIB to a first cellular data interface;
- activating the splitting of data billing on the user equipment;
- replacing, within the first FIB, the association of the association in the first FIB to the first cellular data interface with an association between a second cellular data interface and the first FIB;
- and
- assigning an application a group identifier of the first FIB to migrate the application to the second cellular data interface.
