FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to packet switched communication networks. A method of enabling extension of a network service of a first domain to a remote customer site hosted by an access gateway (AG) in a provider Ethernet domain. In the first domain, the remote customer site is represented as being hosted by a border gateway (BG) connected to the provider Ethernet domain, such that subscriber packets associated with the network service are forwarded to or from the remote customer site via the BG. In the provider Ethernet domain, a trunk connection is instantiated through the provider Ethernet domain between the host AG and the BG.
EFFECT: providing multi-domain services to remote consumers.
