Abstract:
A broadband network gateway (BNG) controller is described that includes a network subscriber database (NSDB) and one or more core applications. The NSDB is configured to store vBNG instance information for one or more subscriber devices. The vBNG instance information specifies vBNG instances operable by one or more edge routers. The vBNG instances are configured to receive requests to access service provider services from the one or more subscriber devices and to selectively authenticate the one or more subscriber devices for network services based on authentication information included in the requests to access services provider services. The one or more core applications include a network instance and configuration manager (NICM). The NICM is configured to modify the vBNG instance information at the NSDB to include an additional vBNG instance and to output, to an edge router, an instruction to generate the additional vBNG instance at the edge router.

Claim (Index 30):
The method of  claim 29 , further comprising:\n in response to determining, by a particular vBNG instance of the one or more vBNG instances, that the vBNG instance does not have enough computational resources to process a subscriber login from a subscriber device of the one or more subscriber devices: outputting, by the particular vBNG instance, a notification to the BNG controller indicating a lack of computational resources; and outputting, by the particular vBNG instance, a rejection message to the subscriber device.
