Abstract: A node in a first network domain and a method performed thereby for transmitting a data packet to a VPN client in a second network domain, the node and the VPN client being part of a VPN, wherein the first and second network domain are connected by means of a third network domain are provided. The method comprises receiving, from an application server, a first packet comprising a first IP header and a payload; and determining a DCSP. The method further comprises adding a second header comprising the determined DCSP and an IP address of a VPN client resulting in a second packet and encrypting the second packet. Further the method comprises adding a third header to the encrypted second packet resulting in a third packet, the third header comprising a destination address of a node in the second network domain, and transmitting the third packet in an IP tunnel terminating at the node in the second network domain.

Abstract: A method of charging at a mobile switching centre, MSC (5) of a mobile telecommunications network (2) in respect of a call initiated by a mobile terminal (1) registered with the network (2) and terminating outside of the network. At the MSC (5) the call is classified, according to the associated A-number and/or the B-number, as corresponding either to a call for which the MSC (5) is to be the charge determination point or to a call for which the charge determination point is located outside of the mobile telecommunications network (2). In the event that the call belongs to the latter class, the MSC (5) receives tariff information from the external charge determination point (7,9) and calculates charge information on the basis of the received tariff information.
