Abstract
A technique for executing a service in a local area network through a wide area communication network by way of an access gateway. This access gateway allows devices of the local area network to access the wide area communication network. A service tunnel is configured between the access gateway and a tunnels termination point. This termination point conveys data originating from the local area network and received by using the tunnel to an instance of the service specific to the local area network and conveys data received from this instance to the local area network by using the tunnel. The service is thereafter executed by this instance in the guise of device of the local area network.
