Abstract
Methods and apparatus for a providing information to a core network where a terminal exchanges data with a cache in an access network. The node stores data in the cache. Data is exchanged between the cache and the terminal, and information relating to the exchanged data is provided to the core network. This allows the core network to apply normal core network functions such as LI, charging and policy control, even when the data does not pass through the core network.
