Uplink Traffic Separation in an Edge Node of a Communication Network

摘要

For separating data traffic in an uplink (UL) edge node (100) of a communication network, UL one or more packet filters (110) are provided in the UL edge node (100). The packet filters (110) identify data packets in UL traffic from the UL edge node (100). Gating data associated with the packet filters (110) are evaluated, e.g. to derive gating control signals (GC1, GC2, GC3) of the individual packet filters (110). Depending on the evaluation of the gating data, the identified data packets are discarded.
