Abstract
Providing connections to terminals in an access node of a first network. A message is received in the access node from a terminal, the message including capability information of the terminal. The terminal is identified in the access node on the basis of the received capability information as an intermediary node capable of relaying traffic between the first network and a second network. Parameters for a connection between the access node and the terminal are determined in the access node on the basis of the identification of the terminal as intermediary node and used in establishing the connection between the access node and the terminal.
