Abstract
The invention relates to controlling selection of a gateway support node of a packet-switched network. The invention includes defining at least one condition for the gateway support node. When the condition is fulfilled, another gateway support node is more suitable for transmitting packets. When fulfillment of the condition is detected, a first message indicating the other gateway support node is transmitted to the serving support node.
