Abstract
Operating a hierarchical-context area network includes a first VPN server obtaining an automatic egress reconfiguration policy associated with a defined scope, wherein the automatic egress reconfiguration policy indicates a defined automatic egress reconfiguration period, receiving, from an end user device associated with the defined scope, via a VPN tunnel between the first VPN server and the end user device, a first protocol data unit addressed to an external device, identifying a second VPN server as a current point of egress for transmitting the first protocol data unit to the external device, receiving, from the end user device, via the VPN tunnel, a second protocol data unit addressed to the external device, and in response to determining that the defined automatic egress reconfiguration period is expired, identifying a third VPN server as the current point of egress for transmitting the second protocol data unit to the external device.
