Abstract
A method and nodes for aggregating data traffic over an access domain between service providers and user domains. An access edge node is introduced in the access domain between service providers and user domains. The access edge node hosts service agents, each service agent controlling a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) over the access domain for one of the service providers. The access edge node verifies whether a service agent, corresponding to the service provider identified in a received service request, exists. If so, the user domain is added to the VLAN corresponding to the requested service provider by creating a service binding at the access edge node. An access node providing access to the access domain to the user domain is informed of the service binding. Data traffic between the user domain and the identified service provider is aggregated over the access domain according to the created service binding.
