1. A computer-implemented method for providing a multi-access interface for network traffic, comprising:
storing a routing table associated with the multi-access interface;
implementing a virtual private network component;
receiving, from the virtual private network component, information regarding topology of a virtual private network, wherein the information regarding the topology includes Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) tunnel information, and wherein the information is received via a standard routing table command and/or application programming interface (API);
storing the topology in the routing table, wherein the topology is stored as routes according to a standard routing table format, and wherein the topology is stored only within the routing table and is not duplicated within the virtual private network component; and
transmitting network traffic according to the topology stored in the routing table.
