Abstract

The present invention is related to a method of configuring an interface between a serving GPRS support node and a base station system. A signal is transmitted (401) from the base station system to the serving GPRS support node indicating cancellation of at least one BSSGP virtual connection associated with a first network service entity identifier. Upon receipt of the cancellation signal at the serving GPRS support node, data structures in the serving GPRS support node are updated (402) to reflect that the at least one BSSGP virtual connection has been cancelled.
