ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and nodes for performing data traffic aggregation over an access domain using service bindings. Upon receipt of a service request related message at an access edge node for a first device of a user domain, the service request related message identifying the first device of the user domain and one of the service provider domains, a service binding is created at the access edge node. The service binding rules data traffic between the first device of the user domain and the service provider domain by committing an access node serving the user domain and the access edge node in a manner of managing data traffic therebetween over the access domain. An access node serving the user domain for which the service request related message is received is informed of the created service binding. The created service binding is enforced at the access node and the access edge node for data traffic over the access domain between the first device of the user domain and the service provider domain by removing a user device MAC address from Unicast messages exchanged therebetween over the access domain and replacing with a virtual MAC address recognized by the access node and the access edge node.
