Technique for executing a service in a local area network through a wide area communication network

A system for executing a service in a local area network through a wide area communication network, said system comprising:

• an access gateway, which comprises a first processor and a first non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the first processor configure the access gateway to:
• allow devices of the local area network to access the wide area network, and
• configure a service tunnel with a service tunnels termination point;
• and
• said termination point, which comprises a second processor and a second non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the second processor configure the termination point to:
• configure the service tunnel with the access gateway,
• route data originating from the local area network and received by using the service tunnel to an instance of the service specific the local area network, and
• route data received from said instance;
• to the local area network by using the service tunnel,
• wherein said service tunnel transfers the data between the local area network and said instance at a level of a data link layer, and
• wherein said instance is executed on a physical device located in the wide area communication network.

Non-transitory recording mediums comprising respective instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor of an access gateway and a processor of a device implementing an instance of a service specific to a local area network, configure the access gateway and the device to execute the service in the local area network through a wide area communication network, wherein:

• the instruction configure the access gateway to allow devices of the local area network to access the wide area communication network;
• and to configure a service tunnel between the access gateway and a tunnels termination point, wherein said tunnels termination point routes data originating from the local area network and received by using the service tunnel, to the instance of the service specific to the local area network, and, wherein said tunnels termination point routes data received from said instance to the local area network by using the service tunnel, and wherein said service tunnel transfers the data between the local area network and said instance at a level of a data link layer;
• and
• the device implementing the instance is configured to execute said service by said instance in the guise of a device of the local area network, wherein said instance is executed on a physical device located in the wide area communication network.
