NODE AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING PRIORITY INFORMATION IN A HEADER OF A CONTROL PLANE MESSAGE

摘要

Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards a node, and corresponding method, for managing GTP control plane messaging based on priority information provided in the header of the GTP control plane message. By providing the priority information in the header of the GTP control plane message, message processing may be reduced.

主权项

1. A method, in a first core network node, for managing a General Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol, GTP, control plane message based on priority information, the method comprising:
receiving, from a second core network node, the GTP control plane message; retrieving priority information from a header of the GTP control plane message; and managing the GTP control plane message based on the retrieved priority information, wherein said managing further comprises further processing, dropping, buffering or rejecting the GTP control plane message.
