1. A method carried out in a user equipment (UE) for enabling transfer of application context from a first edge data network to a second edge data network, comprising:
storing, in the UE, a data object, said data object comprising:
routing information to the first edge data network, and
a context identifier, based on which the first edge data network uniquely can identify the application context of the UE on an application server in the first edge data network;
uploading, upon connecting to the second edge data network, the data object to the second edge data network to enable the second edge data network to obtain the application context without knowledge of an identity of the application server, in response to supplying the context identifier to the first data network.
