Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor of a routing node connected at an edge of a forwarding plane and operably connected to a service provider network, cause the processor to perform:
maintaining one or more mappings between network traffic policies of the forwarding plane to network slices provisioned on a data plane of the service provider network;
maintaining one or more mappings between identifiers associated with user endpoints and the network traffic policies;
receiving network traffic from the forwarding plane, wherein the network traffic is destined to a first user endpoint and associated with a first network traffic policy;
configuring the network traffic for forwarding over a first network slice provisioned on the data plane of the service provider network to the first user endpoint, wherein the first network slice corresponds to the first network traffic policy in the one or more mappings between network traffic policies of the forwarding plane to network slices provisioned on a data plane of the service provider network; and
forwarding the network traffic to the data plane of the service provider network.
