METHOD FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF ETHERNET TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL-BASED DATA PACKETS BETWEEN AT LEAST ONE MOBILE COMMUNICATION UNIT AND A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The method involves associating a generic route encapsulation (GRE)-key that is provided for configuring a GRE-tunnel interface with a media-access-control address of a mobile communication unit (MS). Ethernet enhancement is provided in a registration-request-information that is transmitted from a foreign-agent-unit to a home-agent unit. A media-access-control (MAC)-address of the communication unit is included in the enhancement.
