Claim:
1. A system, comprising: a processor implemented application classifier component that segments routable data traffic prior to bridging layer 2 (L2) data traffic within a shared access virtual local area network (VLAN) and facilitates delivery of the routable data traffic to a plurality of application-specific layer 3 (L3) shadow VLANs (SVLANs), a plurality of application-specific switched virtual interfaces (SVIs) that associate the application-specific L3 SVLANs to a plurality of application-specific L3 virtual networks (vNETs), wherein the application-specific SVIs are configured to perform L3 processing; and a transmission component that delivers the segmented data traffic to one or more of the application-specific L3 vNETs associated with the specific one or more of the application-specific L3 SVLANs, via one or more of the application-specific SVIs associated with the specific one or more of the application-specific L3 SVLANs.
