Abstract
The present invention relates to embodiments of nodes and methods in a node in a data telecommunication network. The method and embodiments thereof enables control of data packet traffic belonging to different access technologies to be sent with the same Quality of Service class over an aggregated encrypted Internet Security tunnel, IPsec tunnel. The received data packets are encrypted and encapsulated as payload in an IP data packet to be sent over an aggregated encrypted IPsec tunnel, which header is marked with an access technology index comprising a code for the identified access technology of the one or more received data packets encrypted and encapsulated as payload in the IPsec tunnel and a hash identifier code enabling enhanced scheduling and routing.
