Abstract
Systems and methods for managing network services between private networks are disclosed. Advertisement of network services which are available in a services network is controlled in accordance with a policy associated with each network service. Network service information is advertised to an external services network only for those network services which have associated policies permitting distribution of the network services through external networks. External network services may also or instead be advertised to a services network from one or more external services networks and subsequently made available in the services network.
