Management of network access request based on source address of device

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory containing instructions configured to instruct the processor to:
• receive access rules for a networking device;
• provide dedicated networking tunnels between a gateway and respective remote gateways to one or more respective network segments, wherein the networking device is authorized to access the one or more network segments by the access rules;
• route, based on source address information in the networking packets, networking packets from the networking device to the dedicated networking tunnels;
• and
• route, based on destination address information in the networking packets, the networking packets to a selection of the dedicated networking tunnels.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by an access controller, a network packet;
• determining, by the access controller, a set of networking tunnels to which the network packet is to be forwarded based on a source address of the network packet;
• selecting, by the access controller, a first networking tunnel of the set of networking tunnels based on a destination address of the network packet;
• and
• routing, by the access controller, the network packet to the first networking tunnel.
