Abstract
For enabling differentiated handling of mobile network data traffic between a UE (410) and a network resource, a network address lookup procedure is adapted on the basis of mobile access information related to a connection between the UE (410) and a mobile network. The mobile access information may be obtained from authentication traffic (502, 503, 504, 505) in the mobile network and be provided to a node (560) performing the adaptation by modifying a message (508) of the lookup procedure. On the basis of the mobile access information, the adaptation may cause the lookup procedure to return a network address of a replacement network resource capable of handling the data traffic. The network address of the replacement network resource (60) matches a packet filter for directing the data traffic to a bearer established between the UE (410) and the mobile network.
