Patent ID: 8094644

Claim:
A method in a network node for dynamically adapting a Traffic Flow Template (TFT) to control the routing of downlink data packets from the network node to a user node, the method comprising the steps of: receiving an uplink data packet sent on a premium bearer channel from the user node; extracting parameters from the uplink data packet, the parameters comprising at least the destination address of the uplink data packet; defining a downlink packet filter subset for filtering downlink data packets as a function of the extracted parameters, wherein the downlink packet filter subset identifies downlink data packets having a source address that matches the destination address of the uplink data packet; and modifying the TFT as a function of the downlink packet filter subset to route the identified downlink packets through the premium bearer channel to the user node, and to route differently, downlink data packets having source addresses that do not match the destination address of the uplink data packet.
