Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for selecting a GGSN. The method may include obtaining a network address for a home agent; transmitting a request to a name server for a name associated with the network address; receiving from the name server in response to the request a name associated with the network address; initiating a GPRS attachment; and after initiating the GPRS attachment, initiating a PDP context activation, wherein the step of initiating the PDP context activation comprises transmitting the name to an SGSN, and the SGSN is configured to use the name to lookup an IP address of a GGSN.
