Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for dynamic virtual private network concentrators (VPNC) gateway selection and on-demand VRF-ID configuration. A dynamic VPNC gateway selection component can dynamically route to a particular VPNC gateway based on multiple user-specific factors, including: a) behavior of users on the network; and b) performance of a destination service/device. A dynamic VPNC gateway selection component can rank a user based on one or more factors relating to the behavior of the user. Also, the dynamic VPNC gateway selection component can determine whether a VPNC gateway at a data center is healthy, and whether a destination service at the data center is healthy. The dynamic VPNC gateway selection component can dynamically select a VPNC gateway from a plurality of VPNC gateways at the data center for communicating forwarded traffic from the user based on the user's ranking if either the VPNC gateway or the service are unhealthy.
