Abstract
A method for routing data through a cellular network from an application client at a user equipment (UE) to an application server via the core network. The method comprises use of a network operator platform to configure the application client and the core network. The application client is configured to address a request for a communication session between the application client and the application server to a token Data Network Name (DNN). The core network is configured to route data addressed to the token DNN to a specified DNN. By providing the network operator with information on the origin and type of data traffic received from a UE (signalled by use of the token DNN, which may be specific to a given application session), the network operator can implement specific, customised handling and treatment of the data traffic as it passes through the cellular network.
