Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices, of activating lawful interception. According to the present disclosure, a gateway comprises a controller for controlling, using a flow control protocol, the flow of packets through a switch controlled by the gateway. The switch receives (S11), from the controller, a lawful interception activation request, comprising a target identity; activates (S12), in response to said request, lawful interception on a target identified by the target identity; duplicates (S13), in the switch, packets targeting the target; encapsulates (S14) the duplicated packets with an additional header; and forwards (S15) duplicates from the switch directly to the lawful interception service provider entity (1) for further distribution to a Lawful interception Agency.

Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method in a first network unit (101) for handling states in a network (100). The first network unit (101) is adapted to supervise power in the network (100). The first network unit (101) receives a work-load report from one or more of a plurality of second network units (105). The second network units (105) consume power. When the second network units (105) are awake and the workload is below a threshold, the first network unit (101) transmits a sleep request to at least one of the second network units (105) to change from awake to sleep. When the plurality of second network units (105) are asleep and the workload has reached or is above the threshold, the first network unit (101) transmits a wakeup request to at least one of the second network units (105) to change from sleep to awake.
