Systems and methods for managing network services between private networks
are disclosed. Advertisement of network services which are available in a
services network is controlled in accordance with a policy associated
with each network service. Network service information is advertised to
an external services network only for those network services which have
associated policies permitting distribution of the network services
through external networks. External network services may also or instead
be advertised to a services network from one or more external services
networks and subsequently made available in the services network.
