Abstract
A network-assisted remote access system enables a user to remotely access a home Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) network from a visited UPnP network. A controller device coupled to a network edge device is operated by a network service provider. When the controller device receives a request from a roaming user to access her home UPnP network, the controller device confirms with a home network edge device that the user is authorized to access the home UPnP network. The controller device then instantiates a layer-2 connection specific for the user between the user device and the home edge device. The controller device provides the user device access to the home UPnP network via the layer-2 connection.
