Abstract
System and method for providing service-agnostic network resources is provided. An embodiment receives an indication that a user is requesting services at a new location, retrieves an access profile, which includes service parameters for services to which the user subscribes, and causes the access network and the programmable network to be reconfigured to provide to the user's services at the new location. The indication may be generated automatically or manually. A network control database that stores network topology information and/or configuration instructions may be used to reconfigure the network resources. In this manner, the access network and the programmable network may be reconfigured to allow the user to move from location to location and from device to device and continue to receive a consistent set of transport services, even involving multiple forms of transport.
