1-33. (canceled)
A method of managing at least one private network, the method comprising:
- dynamically configuring without human intervention the at least one private network via a controller to execute the dynamic configuring;
- wherein the dynamically configuring the at least one private network comprises dynamically reconfiguring the at least one private network based at least in part on a measured increase in network utilization, a measured increase in network latency, a measured reduction in network bandwidth or any combinations thereof;
- wherein the at least one private network comprises two or more separate logical broadcast domains in which the at least one private network is able to communicate selected signal packets from one network device in one of the two or more separate logical broadcast domains transmitted to one network device in another of the two or more separate logical broadcast domains via at least one tunnel such that the at least one private network is able to communicate the selected signal packets from the one network device in one of the two or more separate logical broadcast domains transmitted to the one network device in another of the two or more separate logical domains as if the logical broadcast domains are not logically separate, and without use of routing the selected signal packets.
An article comprising:
- a storage medium having instructions executable to manage at least one private network;
- wherein to manage the at least one private network without human intervention includes to dynamically configure without human intervention the at least one private network via a controller to execute the instructions;
- wherein to dynamically configure the at least one private network comprises to dynamically reconfigure the at least one private network based at least in part on a measured increase in network utilization, a measured increase in network latency, a measured reduction in network bandwidth or any combinations thereof;
- wherein the at least one private network is to comprise two or more separate logical broadcast domains in which the at least one private network is able to communicate selected signal packets from one network device in one of the two or more separate logical broadcast domains to be transmitted to one network device in another of the two or more separate logical broadcast domains via at least one tunnel such that the at least one private network is able to communicate the selected signal packets from the one network device in one of the two or more separate logical broadcast domains to be transmitted to the one network device in another of the two or more separate logical domains as if the logical broadcast domains are not logically separate, and without use of routing the selected signal packets.

A system comprising:
- at least one computing device to manage at least one private network;
- wherein to manage the at least one private network without human intervention includes to dynamically configure without human intervention the at least one private network via the at least one computing device;
- wherein to dynamically configure the at least one private network comprises to dynamically reconfigure the at least one private network based at least in part on a measured increase in network utilization, a measured increase in network latency, a measured reduction in network bandwidth or any combinations thereof;
- wherein the at least one private network is to comprise two or more separate logical broadcast domains in which the at least one private network is able to communicate selected signal packets from one network device in one of the two or more separate logical broadcast domains to be transmitted to one network device in another of the two or more separate logical broadcast domains via at least one tunnel such that the at least one private network is able to communicate the selected signal packets from the one network device in one of the two or more separate logical broadcast domains to be transmitted to the one network device in another of the two or more separate logical domains as if the logical broadcast domains are not logically separate, and without use of routing the selected signal packets.
