A technique for executing a service in a local area network through a wide area communication network by way of an access gateway. This access gateway allows devices of the local area network to access the wide area communication network. A service tunnel is configured between the access gateway and a tunnels termination point. This termination point conveys data originating from the local area network and received by using the tunnel to an instance of the service specific to the local area network and conveys data received from this instance to the local area network by using the tunnel. The service is thereafter executed by this instance in the guise of device of the local area network.

Technique for executing a service in a local area network through a wide area communication network

A method for accessing a peripheral device via a wide area communication network. A control device receives a data item indicating that the peripheral device is connected via a series interface to an access device having access to the wide area communication network. The control device sends to the home device a command for its association with the peripheral device using an address associated with the access device. The home device then sends a command for the transfer of the peripheral device resources to the access device. This association enables the home device to access the peripheral device remotely in order to use the latter via a driver for the peripheral device installed on the home device.
