1. A method performed by a routing function of a Data Layered Architecture (DLA), for distributing data-related requests to an application layer of the DLA, the application layer comprising multiple application functions operating to process incoming data-related requests in a stateless and dataless mode and using information from a data layer of the DLA, the method comprising:

  • receiving an initial data-related request concerning a particular user and sent from a requesting party,identifying a signalling sequence of the initial data-related request wherein one or more subsequent data-related requests concerning the user are anticipated within said signalling sequence,routing the initial data-related request to a selected application function in the application layer wherein the initial data-related request triggers the selected application function to temporarily operate in a stateful mode by caching information used for processing the initial data-related request,receiving said one or more subsequent data-related requests sent from the requesting party which are recognized as belonging to said signalling sequence, androuting the one or more subsequent data-related requests to the selected application function, thereby enabling the selected application function to use the cached information when processing the one or more subsequent data-related requests.
