Abstract

A technique for monitoring a redundancy status of a connection established between a User Equipment, UE, and a cellular network is disclosed, wherein the connection is established using redundant communication paths between the UE and the cellular network. A method implementation of the technique is performed by a first node of the cellular network and comprises triggering determining a current redundancy status of the connection, the current redundancy status indicating whether or not the redundant communication paths are fully disjoint on at least a portion of the redundant communication paths, and triggering sending a redundancy notification to a second node of the cellular network, the redundancy notification including an indication of the determined current redundancy status.
