Abstract

The present invention enables a network operator to select a gateway that provides desirable operational parameters to access a network node function in a network node requested by a client. A network service provider detects what service a client device is requesting or using and selects a gateway (e.g. PDN-GW) to deliver the service. The client device is signaled to make a new connection to the network using the selected gateway, e.g. by connecting to the APN associated with the PDN-GW that delivers the service.
