Claim 12:
13. The method of claim 12, comprising:
sending, by the user entity communicatively coupled to the first dynamic user private network via a first network access device of a plurality of network nodes, a first plurality of packets to a second user entity communicatively coupled to the first dynamic user private network via a second network access device of the plurality of network nodes;
for each first original packet of the first plurality of packets received, encapsulating, via the first network access device, the first original packet in an encapsulating packet comprising the corresponding unique UPN-ID corresponding to the first dynamic user private network and then sending the encapsulating packet towards the second network access device; and
egress processing based on the corresponding unique UPN-ID corresponding to the first dynamic user private network by the second network access device for each received packet of the first plurality of packets, wherein the egress processing comprises:
dropping the received packet in response to the received packet not including the corresponding unique UPN-ID corresponding to the first dynamic user private network, and
decapsulating an original packet from the received packet and forwarding the original packet to the second user entity responsive to the received packet comprising the corresponding unique UPN-ID corresponding to the first dynamic user private network.
