Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 20:
21. A service communication proxy, SCP in a telecommunications network having at least one service communication proxy, SCP, deployed between a first network node and a second network node, the SCP node comprising:
processing circuitry; and
memory coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the communication device to perform operations comprising:
signalling a request to a network repository node to discover an identity of each SCP in the plurality of SCPs deployed in a routing path between the first network node and the second network node;
responsive to the signalling, receiving an identification of the identity of each SCP in the plurality of SCPs deployed in the routing path between the first network node and the second network node; and
discovering at least a next hop in the routing path based on the identification.
