Abstract: Methods and apparatus for routing data packets in a communications network, such as a packet-switched network (e.g. an IP network). Instead of, or in addition to, conventional routing techniques such as longest prefix matching, the disclosure provides a method by which a network node can determine whether to defer transmission of a particular data packet based on geographical location and velocity data. Particularly for data that can tolerate high latency, this will serve to reduce consumption of network resources without adversely impacting user experience.

Abstract: A first network node, a client device and methods therein, for enabling acquisition and delivery of a resource to the client device in a communications network. When receiving from the client device a meta interest request indicating an interest for a wanted resource, the first network node extracts from the meta interest request one or more filter parameters related to desirable characteristics of the wanted resource. The first network node then obtains identifiers of resources available in the communications network, based on the one or more filter parameters, and sends the obtained identifiers of resources to the client device in response to the received meta interest request. Thereby, a user of the client device can see which resources with the desirable characteristics are available in the network and acquire one of the resources identified in this way, without having to specify the supplier nor the resource in the initial request.
