Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for exchanging network connection access technology information amongst nodes in a communication network. An access point such as a router can include an indication of the access technology used for its network connection in a message for the end-user network device (e.g LTE). The network device can connect to the router using a different access technology (e.g. WLAN) for its local connection, nut exploits the router's network access technology information received to determine the own behaviour (e.g. stop applications or software updates).
