Abstract
Method for establishing a traffic route for a mobile network node attached to a mobile router, wherein the mobile router has a plurality of upstream interfaces, by sending, from the mobile router to the mobile network node, identifiers of the interfaces and their properties; the identifiers are mapped to IPv6 traffic classes or IPv4 type of service. At the mobile network node, an interface is chosen based upon the identified interface properties. The traffic class or type of service field of at least certain outgoing packets includes the identifier of the chosen interface. At the mobile router, packets are routed across the interface corresponding to the identifier contained in the traffic class or type of service fields.
