Method and system for implementing network experience shifting using shared objects

A computing system in a first network, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the computing system to:
• receive, via a first network access device in a second network, a request from a first user device to establish roaming network access, a first user of the first user device being associated with a second network access device in the first network and being unassociated with the first network access device, the second network access device being located in a different geographical location from the first network access device;
• authenticate the first user;
• determine whether the first user is associated with the second network access device;
• determine whether the first user is authorized to access at least one of data, content, profiles, software applications, one or more first virtual network functions (“VNFs”), or one or more subscribed-to services that are accessible by the second network access device;
• receive customer network telemetry data via a gateway application programming interface (“API”), the customer network telemetry data comprising information regarding a visited local area network (“LAN”) associated with the first network access device and information regarding the first network access device;
• receive service provider network telemetry data via a network API, the service provider network telemetry data comprising at least one of information regarding the first network, information regarding at least one first network equipment in the first network, information regarding the second network, or information regarding at least one second network equipment in the second network;
• based on a determination that the first user is associated with the second network access device and that the first user is authorized to access at least one of data, content, profiles, software applications, one or more first VNFs, or one or more subscribed-to services that are accessible by the second network access device, determine whether at least one of the visited LAN or the first network access device comprises at least one of hardware, software, network functionality, or configuration that is capable of simulating an interface environment of at least one of a home LAN that is associated with the first user, a work LAN that is associated with the first user, or the second network access device;
• and
• based on a determination that at least one of the visited LAN or the first network access device comprises at least one of hardware, software, network functionality, or configuration that is capable of simulating an interface environment of at least one of the home LAN that is associated with the first user, the work LAN that is associated with the first user, or the second network access device, configure the at least one of the visited LAN or the first network access device to simulate the interface environment of the at least one of the home LAN that is associated with the first user, the work LAN that is associated with the first user, or the second network access device.

A system, comprising:

• one or more first nodes in a visited local area network (“LAN”), each first node comprising:
• at least one first processor;
• and
• a first non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one first processor, the first non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a first set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one first processor, causes the first node to:
• obtain customer network telemetry data comprising information regarding the visited LAN and information regarding a gateway that connects the one or more user devices to one or more service provider networks;
• and
• send the customer network telemetry data to a network node in a first network via a gateway application programming interface (“API”);
• one or more second nodes in each of the one or more service provider networks, each second node comprising:
• at least one second processor;
• and
• a second non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one second processor, the second non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a second set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one second processor, causes the second node to:
• obtain service provider network telemetry data comprising information regarding a corresponding one of the one or more service provider networks and information regarding at least one network equipment in the corresponding one of one or more service provider networks;
• and
• send the service provider network telemetry data to the network node via a network API;
• and
• the network node, comprising:
• at least one third processor;
• and
• a third non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one third processor, the third non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a third set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one third processor, causes the network node to:
• receive, via a first network access device in a second network, a request from a first user device to establish roaming network access, a first user of the first user device being associated with a second network access device in the first network and being unassociated with the first network access device, the second network access device being located in a different geographical location from the first network access device;
• authenticate the first user;
• determine whether the first user is associated with the second network access device;
• determine whether the first user is authorized to access at least one of data, content, profiles, software applications, one or more first virtual network functions (“VNFs”), or one or more subscribed-to services that are accessible by the second network access device;
• receive customer network telemetry data via the gateway API;
• receive service provider network telemetry data via the network API;
• based on a determination that the first user is associated with the second network access device and that the first user is authorized to access at least one of data, content, profiles, software applications, one or more first VNFs, or one or more subscribed-to services that are accessible by the second network access device, determine whether at least one of the visited LAN or the first network access device comprises at least one of hardware, software, network functionality, or configuration that is capable of simulating an interface environment of at least one of a home LAN that is associated with the first user, a work LAN that is associated with the first user, or the second network access device;
• and
• based on a determination that at least one of the visited LAN or the first network access device comprises at least one of hardware, software, network functionality, or configuration that is capable of simulating an interface environment of at least one of the home LAN that is associated with the first user, the work LAN that is associated with the first user, or the second network access device, configure the at least one of the visited LAN or the first network access device to simulate the interface environment of the at least one of the home LAN that is associated with the first user, the work LAN that is associated with the first user, or the second network access device.
