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.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for managing address spaces across network elements. A network device including a processor may be configured to perform the techniques. The processor may execute a pool manager that automatically distributes a first block of network addresses to a first network element acting, for a first network, as a first address allocation server to assign the first block of network addresses. The pool manager may further automatically distribute a second block of contiguous network addresses to a second network element acting, for a second network, as a second address allocation server. The pool manager may then dynamically manage a size of the first block of network addresses and a size of the second block of network addresses to address exhaustion of available network addresses within either or both of the first block of network addresses and the second block of network addresses.
