Abstract
A method for classifying packets includes determining an execution indication indicating at least one amongst a service and application being executed on a user terminal and generating uplink packets; determining a marker on the basis of PCC rules available at the user terminal and at least one execution indication, the marker for identifying at least one of a service and an application associated to uplink packets; transmitting the marker and the uplink packets, to a PCEF network entity; determining an uplink classification, at the PCEF network entity, for received uplink packets based on the marker; storing, at said PCEF network entity, an association between information related to an uplink flow corresponding to the uplink packets and uplink classification; receiving, at said PCEF network entity, downlink packets corresponding to the uplink packets; determining a downlink classification, at the PCEF network entity, for received downlink packets based on the stored association.
