Abstract
One method occurs at a first network node in a service provider network for providing at least one service to multiple tenants. The method includes generating, using input from an administrator of the service provider network, user configuration information for a first tenant; sending, to the first tenant, at least some of the user configuration information; receiving, from the first tenant, first configuration information for configuring a first conduit for tunneling communications between the service provider network and a first site associated with the first tenant's SD-WAN; configuring, using the first configuration information, the first conduit, wherein the first network node is associated with a plurality of conduits, wherein a second conduit of the plurality of conduits is at least in part configured by a second tenant and not the first tenant; and tunneling, via the first conduit, communications between the service provider network and the first site.
