A SYSTEM AND METHOD OPERABLE TO ENABLE SHORTEST CONNECTION ROUTE

摘要

The present invention relates to a system (10) operable to enable shortest connection route for a mobile means (12) of a subscriber, when the mobile means (12) has roamed between a home network (14) comprised in the system (10), and a foreign network (16) comprised in the system (10). When the mobile means (12) requests connection to Internet, a serving means (18) comprised in the foreign network (16) is operable to communicate with, and to receive information regarding the connection route from, a Home Location Register (20) comprised in the home network (14). The serving means (18) is operable to route a packet to a gateway means (22) comprised in the foreign network (16). The gateway means (22) is in turn operable to allocate an IP address for the mobile means (12) and to function as an access point to Internet.
