Abstract
The present invention provides a new network topology. More specifically, a peer-to-peer network is defined on a virtual private network. The peer-to-peer network comprises a set of specified users within a virtual private network that are allowed to communicate according to predetermined rules enforced by the peer-to-peer network itself. This affords secure communication between the specified users of the peer-to-peer network independent of the virtual private network.
