A method in a home base station for forwarding of data packets, wherein said home base station has a connection to at least one mobile terminal over a radio interface, a connection to a number of local nodes of a local network, and a connection to a core network of a mobile telecommunications system via an access network, said method comprising:

  • receiving a number of uplink data packets from the mobile terminal over a number of bearers;

    examining an address field of an uplink data packet received from the mobile terminal to identify a destination address associated with the uplink data packet;

    choosing if the packet is to be subject to local transportation and/or core transportation based on the identified destination address, wherein local transportation implies forwarding the uplink data packet to a local node over the local network without passing the core network, and core transportation implies forwarding the uplink data packet to the core network; and
