Abstract
A method in a first network node comprises exchanging identifiers with a second network node, the exchanged identifiers for use in reestablishing a first S1 Application Protocol (S1AP) connection with the second network node associated with a first Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) connection between the first network node and the second network node. The method comprises storing the identifiers in association with an S1AP context, and sending, in response to a determination that the first S1AP connection with the second network node should be suspended, a request to suspend the first S1AP connection to the second network node. The method comprises reestablishing the first S1AP connection with the second network node using at least one of the stored identifiers, wherein the reestablished first S1AP connection is associated with the second SCTP connection between the first network node and the second network node.
