Abstract: A method of services request in a packet switched telecommunications network comprising a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) arranged for communication with a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN). During activation of a subscriber session, receiving by the GGSN, from the SGSN in an Update PDP Context Request message, data comprising both 1) an Internet Protocol (IP) address and user plane tunnelling endpoint identifier (TEID) for a Radio Network Controller (RNC) and 2) an IP address and user plane TEID of the SGSN; the GGSN nominally utilizes the IP address and TEID of the RNC for the subscriber session. If an error indication is received by the GGSN indicating that the RNC has restarted, it discards the IP address and TEID corresponding to the RNC and utilizes the IP address and TEID corresponding to the SGSN, whereby the GGSN and SGSN can maintain the subscriber session in the event of an RNC restart.

Abstract: A solution in a telecommunications infrastructure network for creating a secondary PDP context for a time critical application, ensuring that no packets are lost by masquerading a primary PDP context as the secondary PDP context. This may be achieved by for instance sending a fake TEID or including a filter in a PDP creation request for the secondary PDP context and updating the GGSN with a correct TEID or a new Traffic Flow Template (TFT) when the secondary PDP context is established.

Abstract: A router providing selective routing depending on traffic direction. The router includes two IP interfaces, where each IP interface is associated with a respective virtual private network. The router uses two forwarding tables. The first forwarding table routes traffic towards a first IP interface and a second forwarding table is capable of simultaneously routing traffic in the opposite direction, away from the first IP interface. The first IP interface is coupled to a first tunnel which provides bi-directional connectivity to mobile stations. The second IP interface is coupled to a second tunnel providing bi-directional connectivity to a corporate network. The router also includes a third interface which provides bi-directional connectivity to mobile stations. The router routes traffic through the second interface in the event that a mobile station on one interface is communicating with a mobile station on the third interface.
