A method and configuration device for configuring a system having at least one device. A moving user is authorised to access this system, referred to as the visited system. Information data representing a nominal configuration in a reference system are obtained b the configuration device, this nominal configuration having a piece of information relating to a configured service and at least one configuration rule of a device contributing to the provision of the service. The configuration device then determines a configuration of the service in the visited system and at least one device of the visited system as a function of the nominal configuration obtained and applies this configuration.

Technique for configuring a system comprising at least one device

The invention relates to a technique for forwarding data packets by a gateway device (). The gateway device ensures an interconnection between the client entities () of a local network () and a communication network (), that is to say forwards packets received from a client entity to the communication network by means of a nominal interface and vice versa. The gateway device identifies at least one device (), termed the relay device, accessible by means of a second interface and able to play a role of relay to forward packets exchanged between a client entity and the communication network. When a packet indicating that a session is initiated is received from a client entity, the gateway device forwards the packets of the session by means of the second interface, when a forwarding selection criterion is satisfied, or by means of the nominal interface in the converse case.
