In the face of many virtual networks, each providing specific services with a
potentially optimized network architecture running inside, it becomes critical
to provide end users with a flexible way of attaching to their preferred set of
virtual networks.
For instance, a user may want to access his home TV service, his closed company
network as well as his home network even while he is abroad, staying in a hotel.
This scenario motivates the following objectives: a) The end user wants
to securely access multiple VNets from his current physical network access,
b) connections to the various VNets should be set up automatically while
also taking authentication and authorization into account, c) the
solution should not depend on globally available IP connectivity as future
networks may use different protocols.
In this context, this presentation focuses on the network access aspects.
