Abstract:
1. A method that allocates access services for a subscriber requesting to attach to an Internet Protocol (IP) network, the method comprising the actions of: obtaining identification information of a requesting subscriber that sent a request to attach to an IP network and a currently assigned IP address which was assigned to the requesting subscriber to be used during the current access session over the IP network; identifying, based at least in part on the identification information, two or more different access services associated with the identification information; creating a routing path toward an external IP network that includes two or more different access service servers in which data traffic associated with the subscriber is passed through in a certain order for providing the identified two or more of access services, wherein the certain order in the routing path defines routing received packets toward a first access service server from the two or more different access service servers, waiting for receiving a relevant processed packet from the first access service server and transfer the received relevant processed packet toward a second access service server from the two or more different access service servers; and associating the routing path with the currently assigned IP address.
