Abstract: A bridged gateway coupled to a local area network (LAN) in a premises establishes a layer 2 tunnel with a first computing device coupled to a different network, the first computing device operable to provide a virtual gateway that provides default gateway functionality to computing devices connected to the LAN. The bridged gateway generates a first message to be processed by the virtual gateway. The bridged gateway sends the first message to the computing device to cause the first computing device to initiate the virtual gateway.
