Abstract
The invention pertains to a process to control the path of IP connections in a subscriber-based communication network, in particular in a digital mobile communication network, through which the IP connections are routed depending on the subscriber data. The device to perform the process includes a database in which a relation between an IP address assigned to a subscriber, a subscriber identity and a subscriber profile is stored, a RADIUS proxy server that creates the relation between the IP address and the subscriber identity when the IP address is assigned and that writes this to the database, and a router that performs a query of the database for each IP data packet of the IP connection and performs the routing to the destination system depending on the subscriber data.
