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.
