Claim 6:
7. An access node for enabling handling of data packets in a wireless communication system, the access node being comprised in an access network of the wireless communication system, the access node being configured to:
obtain, from a core network node, an identifier value that indicates that data packets associated with a potentially malicious service data flow is to be handled according to a packet handling rule for potentially malicious data packets;
obtain a data packet that is marked with the identifier value; and to
handle the data packet according to the packet handling rule, wherein the identifier value indicates at least one of:

that data packets associated with the potentially malicious service data flow is to be dropped by at least one of the communication device and the access node;
that data packets associated with the potentially malicious service data flow is to be monitored within the access network;
that the communication device associated with the potentially malicious service data flow is to be deprioritized by the access node;
that network resources for the communication device associated with the potentially malicious service data flow is to be restricted by the access node; and
wherein the identifier value implicitly indicates that data packets belonging to the potentially malicious service data flow is to be dropped or monitored.
