A method performed in an access point, comprising: receiving a packet via a local network, wherein the packet is destined for an access terminal served by the access point, wherein the packet comprises a local breakout packet provided to the access point through the local network, and wherein the local breakout packet further relates to accessing a local service by the access terminal through the local network (step 402); paging the access terminal only at the access point as a result of the receipt of the packet; wherein the paging further comprises: sending a first message, as a result of the receipt of the packet, to a network node that manages paging for the access terminal, wherein the message comprises an indication that the access terminal is to be paged only at one access point (step 404); receiving a second message from the network node in response to the first message, wherein the second message instructs the access point to page the access terminal (step 412); and paging the access terminal only at the access point, from among a plurality of access points of the local network, based on the second message and to indicate the receipt of the packet relating to the local service at the access point for delivery to the access terminal; and filtering the packets sent within the local network wherein the local breakout traffic directed to the access terminal is reduced. receiving a packet via a local network, wherein the packet is destined for an access terminal served by the access point, wherein the packet comprises a local breakout packet provided to the access point through the local network, and wherein the local breakout packet further relates to accessing a local service by the access terminal through the local network (step 402); paging the access terminal only at the access point as a result of the receipt of the packet; wherein the paging further comprises: sending a first message, as a result of the receipt of the packet, to a network node that manages paging for the access terminal, wherein the message comprises an indication that the access terminal is to be paged only at one access point (step 404); receiving a second message from the network node in response to the first message, wherein the second message instructs the access point to page the access terminal (step 412); and paging the access terminal only at the access point, from among a plurality of access points of the local network, based on the second message and to indicate the receipt of the packet relating to the local service at the access point for delivery to the access terminal; and filtering the packets sent within the local network wherein the local breakout traffic directed to the access terminal is reduced. sending a first message, as a result of the receipt of the packet, to a network node that manages paging for the access terminal, wherein the message comprises an indication that the access terminal is to be paged only at one access point (step 404); receiving a second message from the network node in response to the first message, wherein the second message instructs the access point to page the access terminal (step 412); and paging the access terminal only at the access point, from among a plurality of access points of the local network, based on the second message and to indicate the receipt of the packet relating to the local service at the access point for delivery to the access terminal; and filtering the packets sent within the local network wherein the local breakout traffic directed to the access terminal is reduced.
