System and method for providing service-agnostic network resources is provided. An embodiment receives an indication that a user is requesting services at a new location, retrieves an access profile, which includes service parameters for services to which the user subscribes, and causes the access network and the programmable network to be reconfigured to provide to the user's services at the new location.

An interface connection is described for joining a host device, such as a Network Processor, to peripherals such as modems, printers, local area networks, Ethernets and Token-Ring interfaces. The connection is particularly useful for joining portable computers, such as laptops, to these peripherals. The connector utilizes a programmable Network Processor (NP) either in the host device or in an external fan-out box. This programmable Network Processor adapts the host device to a variety of peripheral devices utilizing different protocols and I/O speeds. The NP can use a Digital Signal Processor to provide programmable services to the physical layers. The host device may contain a high-speed communication interface with the NP contained in the external connection box.
