Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimally provisioning connectivity for network-based mobile virtual private network (VPN) services. The method and apparatus includes provisioning each of a plurality of IP service gateways (IPSGs) to support virtual private network (VPN) tunneling between customer premise equipment of a subset of VPN customers and at least one mobile access point (MAP). Each MAP is geographically remote from the plurality of IPSGs, and supports VPN tunneling to mobile nodes of the subset of VPN customers.
