Abstract
A method is implemented by a border network gateway for enabling an end user device to access home network resources and receive subscriber services in a visited network. The method includes receiving a connection from the end user device, querying an authentication server to obtain a virtual extended local area network (VXLAN) network identifier (VNI) of the end user device, and checking for the VNI for the end user device in a demultiplexor table of the border network gateway. The process further involves determining whether the end user device is in a home network of the end user device and updating an entry in the demultiplexor table to include a media access control address for the end user device in response to determining the end user device is not in the home network of the end user device.
