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 17):
The method of  claim 16 , further comprising:\n outputting, by the NRM, to a network load balancer (NLB) operable by the one or more processors, a notification for recomputing load balancing in response to receiving the notification of insufficient resources; outputting, by the NRM, to the NLB, an instruction to recompute load balancing for the additional vBNG instance; and outputting, by the NLB, a load balancer credit to the additional vBNG instance in response to the instruction to recompute load balancing for the additional vBNG instance.
