Interaction in a communication system
First Claim
1. A method in a communication system, comprising:
- routing a call from a first network to a second network via a gateway;
definial the type of the call;
determining in a gateway controller function a communication service class that is to be used for the call;
communicating to the gateway information that associated with the determined communication service class by means of a communication protocol message adapted to transport said information from the gateway controller to the gateway; and
processing the call based on said information received at the gateway.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a gateway between two networks of a communication system. A plurality of communication service classes is available for the communication between the networks. In the method a call is routed from a network to another network via the gateway. The type of the call is defined. A gateway controller also determines the communication service class that is to be used for the call. The gateway controller communicates information that associates with the determined service class to the gateway. The communication is based on a communication protocol message that has been adapted to transport said information between the gateway controller and the gateway. The call is then processed based on said information
