Abstract

Methods and systems consistent with the present invention provide a Supernet, a private network constructed out of components from a public-network infrastructure. The Supernet provides channel-specific file system views such that the file system of the Supernet is partitioned on a per-channel basis so that nodes on one channel see a different view of the network file system than the nodes on a different channel.
