Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of recovering from a processor fault in a mobile communication network node provided with a plurality of processors. In use, connections are established between the network node and mobile stations for packet data communication between the network node and the mobile station. The connections are classified into priority order on basis of predefined classifying parameters. Working condition of at least one of the processors of the network node is monitored, and in case of detecting a processor fault, user plane connections are relocated within the network node from the faulted processor to another processor in accordance with the classified priority order of the connections. The invention relates further to a network node.
