Abstract

There is provided a mechanism for establishing a single PDN connection with plural IP addresses and breakout or terminating points. When a communication connection provided with multiple IP addresses via a multi-address bearer connection is established, an indication is prepared for indicating a terminating point represented by a network element of the cellular communication network where data traffic, based on one of the multiple IP addresses, is branched to another network being different to the cellular communication network by means of an IP based communication link The indication element is sent to the communication network by means of a PDCP signaling e.g. as a new PDU type code. In the network, it is decided whether a local receiving network element is indicated as a terminating point, wherein in this case a breakout connection to another network being different to the cellular communication network by the IP based communication link is established.
