A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a request to authenticate an end user in a service provider network, and evaluating the request to identify the end user as belonging to an enterprise network. A tag is generated for a packet associated with a flow for the end user in the enterprise network. Routing occurs for subsequent packets associated with the flow between the enterprise network and the end user. The subsequent packets associated with the flow are not routed through the service provider network. In more particular embodiments, the end user is authenticated in the enterprise network after being authenticated in the service provider network. In addition, traffic for the end user can be separated based on one or more tags identified within the flow. A plurality of flows can be classified based on a customer identification (CID). The tag can be a virtual local area network (VLAN) tag generated at a base station. |
