Abstract

In an example embodiment, a method of dynamically tunneling specific, or per application, services on demand without having to build complex split tunneling policies on Virtual Private Network (VPN) terminators. In particular embodiments, the method can allow for tunneling to multiple data centers on devices with limited, e.g., single, concentrator capabilities.
