Zusammenfassung:	The method involves receiving an Ethernet packet at a network access node which is a part of an Ethernet based access network. An Ethernet MAC address that is contained in the Ethernet packet is transformed into another Ethernet MAC address at the network access node. The two Ethernet MAC addresses include a subscriber or subscriber line identification. The identification has a format with a user device identification. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) an electrical circuit device for carrying out a method of forwarding an Ethernet packet in an Ethernet based access network; and (b) a network access node for receiving an Ethernet packet in an Ethernet based access network.
