A method for enabling secure communication. The method includes providing a first virtual network function ('VNF') at a first network location and providing a second VNF at a second network location. A first Layer 3 virtual private network ('L3 VPN') tunnel is constructed by the first VNF and the second VNF between the first network location and the second network location, and a first local area network (&#x201c;LAN&#x201d;) at the first network location and a second LAN at the second network location are connected by the first L3 VPN tunnel. Further provided is a method for establishing a secure communication environment.

A method and system are disclosed allowing for determining those users of multiple users who satisfy desired condition(s), where characteristics of the users in at least some embodiments vary dynamically. In at least one embodiment, the method includes receiving at a server device a request for a determination regarding which of a plurality of users satisfies a plurality of conditions respectively relating to a plurality of user characteristics, and obtaining at the server device a conditions specification. Additionally, the method includes accessing at least one repository in which is stored information regarding the users to obtain at least some of the information, the information concerning the user characteristics. The method also includes making a determination regarding which of the users satisfies the plurality of conditions, obtaining at the first server device updated information from the at least one repository, re-evaluating the determination, and sending output information regarding the re-evaluated determination.

A communication circuit () and method updates an active link set list () in an asynchronous wireless communication system. In one embodiment, the communication circuit () may be a wireless device () or any other suitable communication device. The communication circuit () includes candidate reference link determination circuitry () to receive an active link set update message () and in response, to create the candidate list of reference links () from the active link set list (). The candidate reference link determination circuitry () creates the candidate list of reference links based on, for example, an indication in the received active link set update message () to retain links from the active link set list ().
