The present invention relates to a traffic flow template for indicating preferred treatment of a service instance. For doing so, the table provides at least one packet filter, and an IP address associated with the packet filter. Each of the at least one packet filter includes packet filter attributes and an associated packet filter identifier. A terminal manages the packet filters. The terminal manages packet filter identifiers, manages evaluation precedence indexes of the packet filters, creates a packet filter content, and associates the packet filter to a current IP address of the terminal. The traffic flow template is stored at a packet data serving node (PDSN). The PDSN receives a pattern update request message from a terminal, and uses an evaluation precedence index to look up for a packet filter match the pattern update request message. |
