Abstract:
There is disclosed an apparatus (408). The apparatus comprises means for performing: receiving user plane traffic at the apparatus (408), the user plane traffic intended for a group local area network communication; and determining a target destination address for the user plane traffic; and autonomously handling the received user plane traffic at the apparatus (408) in dependence on the target destination address; and wherein the autonomously handling the received user plane traffic by the apparatus comprises determining whether the destination address is recognised by the apparatus (408); and forwarding the user plane traffic towards all interfaces (424) tagged as network interfaces associated with the group communication, when the destination address is determined to be not recognised by the apparatus (408).
