Abstract

Public and private network service management systems and methods are disclosed. Rules for accessing a private services network in which network services are available are enforced so as to restrict access to the services network through a public network in accordance with policies of the services network. Use of network services by a client of the private services network through the public network is controlled according to network service access policies associated with the network services. Network services provided by clients of the services network which access the services network through a public network may also be offered to other clients of the services network through the services network and the public network.
