METHOD AND NODE FOR AUTOMATICALLY EXCHANGING NETWORK SERVICE PROVIDER INFORMATION

摘要

A method is provided for automatically exchanging network service provider information between two sets of network service providers. The method comprises the steps of configuring at least one address of a proxy function of a second set of network service providers for a proxy function of a first set of network service providers (s301); sending network service provider information of the first set of network service providers to the proxy function of the second set of network service providers with the at least one address of the proxy function of the second set of network service providers (s302); and receiving network service provider information of the second set of network service providers from the proxy function of the second set of network service providers (s303). The network service provider information includes information for addressing the network service provider and ID of service provided by the network service provider. With the present invention, the communication process between two sets of network elements can be more efficient.
