Abstract
Gateway hardware/software (such as associated with a router in a subscriber domain) provides multiple communication devices access to a remote network. During operation, the gateway hardware establishes a secured tunnel between the gateway hardware and a remote communication device over a shared communication link. The gateway hardware also establishes a non-secure channel over the shared communication link. The gateway hardware analyzes communications received from multiple communication devices; the communications are destined for delivery to recipients in the remote network. Depending on attributes of the received communications, the gateway hardware selectively forwards each of the received communications over the secured tunnel or the non-secure channel.
