Abstract
A method for over-the-top (OTT) management in a communication network is presented. The method is performed in an application client. The method comprises sending a request for activation of a policy for an application network interaction protocol (ANIP) service to a packet data network gateway (PGW) wherein the request indicates an address to a local ANIP server; receiving a set of rules related to the requested activation of the policy from the PGW, wherein the set of rules are defined for a packet data network (PDN) session applicable for the ANIP service; and communicating over the communication network based on the received set of rules. Methods, application clients, PGWs, ANIP servers, computer programs, and a computer program for OTT management in a communication network are also presented.
