System and Method for Implementing Extension of Customer LAN at Provider Network Service Point

摘要

Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing extension of customer local area networks (“LANs”) and/or implementing isolated service overlays over a network. In some embodiments, a network service point that is located external to a demarcation point at each of a plurality of customer premises might establish a connection between a service provider network and a customer LAN, which has already been established within a customer premises. The system subsequently extends the customer LAN, via this connection, to span between the network service point and the customer premises. Alternatively, or additionally, the system might establish two or more isolated service overlays across the customer LAN between the network service point and the customer premises, each of the two or more isolated service overlays having network traffic that is isolated from network traffic transmitted along another of the two or more isolated service overlays.

1. A method, comprising:
establishing, at a network service point that is located external to a demarcation point at each of a plurality of customer premises, a connection between a service provider network and a customer local area network (“LAN”), the customer LAN being established within a customer premises of the plurality of customer premises; and extending the customer LAN, via the connection between the service provider network and the customer LAN, to span between the network service point and the customer premises.
