Abstract

The application relates to a method for operating a flow control entity configured to control a data packet flow in a radio access network and a transport network of a communications network. It is determined that a transmission condition for the data packet flow through the communications network has changed, and determined through which radio access node the data packet flow is transmitted. A new anchor point for the data packet flow is determined in dependence on the radio access node, and a bearer control entity is informed about the new anchor point.
