In this paper we address the management of dynamic virtual private networks (DVPN). Dynamic virtual private networks are VPNs with a high degree of change in terms of membership, implying the necessity for fast reconfiguration and provisioning. We propose a framework for the management of such networks by integrating the management and the control plane, using the programmable and active networks paradigms developed within the research community. We apply the framework to the management of residential user TV multicast, where an ATM based access network supports the delivery of TV content to all clients having subscribed to a DVPN.
