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 4):
The BNG controller of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more core applications include a network load balancer (NLB) configured to load balance the plurality of vBNG instances based on the vBNG instance information and wherein the NRM is further configured to:\n output, to the NLB, a notification for recomputing load balancing in response to receiving the notification of insufficient resources; and output, to the NLB, an instruction to recompute load balancing for the additional vBNG instance, wherein the NLB outputs a load balancer credit to the additional vBNG instance in response to the instruction to recompute load balancing for the additional vBNG instance.
