Abstract

A method, an operator network () and nodes () for managing trafficare disclosed. The network exposure node () receives (A) a Packet Flow Description (PFD) rule for a server application (). The PFD rule comprises one or more protocol parameters for classification of traffic using a protocol related to said one or more protocol parameters. The one or more protocol parameters comprise for example an indication relating to common names (CNS), an indication relating to a domain name system (DNS) domain name, a server name indication (SNI), an indication relating to fraud prevention, an indication relating to a server IP address. The network exposure node ()transmits (A) the PFD rule to the session node (), which transmits (A), towards the user data node (), a management request comprising the PFD rule. The user data node () receives (A), from the client application (), traffic destined to the server application (). The user data node () classifies (A) the traffic in accordance with the PFD rule. The user data node () enforces (A) actions for the classified traffic. Corresponding computer programs () and computer program carriers () are also disclosed.
