Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for link optimization in an SD-PMN defined over at least a first site of a first entity and a second site of a PMN-provider. The method configures a first portion of the SD-PMN deployed at the first entity's first site, the first portion of the SD-PMN including at least one or more physical access points for connecting user devices at the first entity's first site to the SD-PMN and one or more control plane components of the SD-PMN. The method configures a first edge router deployed at the first entity's first site to use multiple links including at least one commercial Internet network link between the first edge router and a gateway router deployed in the PMN-provider second site to reach the PMN-provider second site and to perform a multi-link optimization process on the multiple links to establish a secure tunnel for use in communicating with the gateway router.
