Abstract
A method for managing UMA communications within a local area network and a network controller are disclosed. The method includes establishing a first connection to a first UMA device over the LAN and establishing a second connection to a UMA network controller (UNC) over an external network. The first UMA device is connected to the local area network and the UNC is connected to the external network. Packets received from the first UMA device using the first connection are sent to the UNC using the second connection. Similarly, packets received from the UNC using the second connection are sent to the first UMA device using the first connection. The first connection may include a first IPsec tunnel and the second connection may include a second IPsec tunnel. The external network may include the internet.
