Localizing and placement of network node functions in a network

摘要

The invention enables placement and use of a network node function in a second network node instead of using the network node function in a first network node. The network node function is e.g. a server function or a router function. The second network node is typically located in or close to the client device or to the network of an operator servicing a client device to enable optimization of client-server communication and optimization of the load on the client-server communication in the network. Client requests transmitted to the first network node may be redirected to the second network node.
