Abstract: A secure network system is provided which includes a plurality of networks where each network has at least one network device configured to transmit and receive data and has a network security policy. The secure network further includes a plurality of network control points where each network control point has at least one network control point device. Each of the plurality of network control points is connected to at least one of the plurality networks. All network control point devices are configured to enforce the network security policy for the network to which it is connected. The secure network further includes a virtual backbone configured to connect the plurality of network control points to one another. The virtual backbone does not enforce any network security policy with respect to data being transmitted across the virtual backbone, except for source address integrity at the point the networks connect to a NCP.

Abstract: The invention includes an apparatus and a method of connecting a computing device to a computer network through at least one of a plurality of computer network connections. The method includes determining which of a plurality of network service providers are available to the computing device. At least of the available network service providers is selected based upon information of the computing device. Access is provided to the selected network service provider. Determining what network service providers are available to the computing device can include determining a location of the computing device, and determining what network service providers are available to the computing device based upon the location of the computing device. The invention can further include monitioring a plurality of computer network connections, and selecting at least one optimal computer network connection. A network interconnection is provided between the computing device and the computernetwork through the at least one optimal computer network connection.
