Abstract
The invention proposes a network system comprising a first network element () and at least a second network element (), the second network element being adapted to operate in at least two different modes, wherein the first network element () is adapted to send a message to the second network element, and the second network element () is adapted to set the mode in response to information included in the message and indicating whether a particular procedure is to be performed and/or has been performed. Thus, the second network element sets its mode dependent on whether a procedure like processing of a location request has to be performed or has not to be performed, or, whether a procedure has been performed or not. The network elements can be Call State Control Functions (CSCF).
