In general, a mobile virtual private network (VPN) is described in which service provider networks cooperate to dynamically extend a virtual routing area of a home service provider network to the edge of a visited service provider network and thereby enable IP address continuity for a roaming wireless device. In one example, a home service provider network allocates an IP address to a wireless device and establishes a mobile VPN. The home service provider network dynamically provisions a visited service provider network with the mobile VPN, when the wireless device attaches to an access network served by the visited service provider network, to enable the wireless device to exchange network traffic with the visited service provider network using the IP address allocated by the home service provider network.

Virtual private networking with mobile communication continuity

Network devices provide seamless offloading of data communications from a service provider's cellular network to an alternate access network outside of the service provider's cellular network. After a cellular mobile device has initially been authenticated by devices in the cellular network to communicate with a packet data network via the cellular network, the cellular mobile device is configured to leverage its prior authentication on the cellular network and automatically obtain credentials for use in logging onto the alternate access network, without requiring any action by a user of the cellular mobile device. After the cellular mobile device is logged on to the alternate access network, the cellular mobile device sends wireless data communications to the packet data network via the alternate access network instead of the cellular network.
