Abstract
A system and method are supplied to provide multiple private networks. The system can include an Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) interface configured to receive a plurality of data stream types from a packet switched network. A plurality of local area network ports can be configured to communicate data to local area networks. A switching process can be provided between the MPLS interface and the local area network ports. The switching process can be configured to map individual data stream types from the MPLS interface to each of the respective local area network ports. In addition, the switching process can communicate packets between the MPLS interface and the mapped local area network ports.
