A method for forming a communications network using routers. The first
step is analyzing a router location to determine if the router location
is VPN resource constrained or interface-constrained. The VPN resource
constrained router network comprises at least at least two groups of
routers and the same number of customer groups. The next step is
connecting the first group of customers and routers, and the second group
of customers and routers, using a round robin connectivity methodology
and saving information in each router's database. The
interface-constrained router network, comprises no more routers than the
value [Q*], wherein [Q*] represents the number of routers that can be
used by a group of customers so that VPN resources will not be exhausted
faster than interface resources for the group of routers, then connecting
customers to the group of routers using a round robin connectivity
methodology and saving information in each router's database.
