Apparatus and method for optimized and secured reflection of network services to remote locations

An apparatus, system, and method for the provisioning of network services in remote locations are disclosed. A service producer is connected to a local area network. The function of the service producer is to provide a service to a service consumer that is connected to a physical local area network. A producer reflector device is physically connected to the consumer network. In accordance with a predefined reflection policy, the producer reflector generates in the consumer network virtual local network image of the service provided from the producer network. A service consumer is connected to the local reflected network image of a service producer from the producer network. A consumer reflector device is physically connected to the producer network.; In accordance with the pre-defined reflection policy, the consumer reflector creates in the producer network a network instance image of the service consumer from the consumer network.; An apparatus, system, and method for the provisioning of network services in remote locations are disclosed.
