Abstract
Accessing a private network includes receiving a request from a device across a public network at a first network component to establish a connection between the device and a private network and determining if the device is authorized to connect with the private network. If the device is authorized, the request is forwarded from the first network component to a second network component and the second network component creates a temporary connection between the private network and the device via the first network component.
