Abstract
A method and a system for notifying an attribute of an Internet Protocol (IP) address and a Serving Gateway (SGW) are disclosed. When an SGW is taken as a User Equipment's (UE's) SGW, the new SGW can be notified of an attribute of the UE's IP address. The technology of notifying an attribute of an IP address in the disclosure can ensure that the new SGW can learn the attribute of the UE's IP address in time when the new SGW is taken as the UE's SGW. Therefore, a charging gateway function entity connected with the new SGW can accurately charge the UE according to the attribute of the IP address.
