Abstract
A method of load balancing for packet data flows in a packet data network is provided. According to one embodiment, the method includes the steps of receiving a packet data flow and verifying whether the packet data flow belongs to one of the existing packet data delivery categories. The method also includes the steps of assigning a first delivery path indicator for the packet data delivery category, retrieving load conditions prevailing in the network, and checking whether one of the existing packet data delivery categories conforms to prescribed resource policy rules for one of the existing packet data delivery category. When the step of checking generates a negative result, the method involves the step of assigning an alternative delivery path indicator for the packet data delivery category. The invention also provides a method of categorizing packet data flows as belonging to a certain packet data delivery category.
