    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for managing group policies in a network. In some examples, a policy enforcement device comprising a plurality of service planes, each having one or more processors operably coupled to a memory, receives a policy enforcement request that includes data identifying a subscriber from a policy control server for a network. The plurality of service planes are further configured to assign, in response to determining that the subscriber is a member of a subscriber group that includes a plurality of subscribers, the subscriber to a selected service plane of the plurality of service planes. The selected service plane applies a group policy for the subscriber group to subscriber data traffic associated with the subscriber.

    Abstract: An example gateway device determines that a first policy, applicable to a subscriber device when the subscriber device is coupled to a first access network, indicates that packets from the subscriber device are to be sent to a service device, and forwards a first set of packets from the subscriber device to the service device while the subscriber device is coupled to the first access network. After determining that the subscriber device has become coupled to a second access network of the plurality of access networks, the gateway device determines that a second policy, for the subscriber device when the subscriber device is coupled to the second access network, does not indicate that packets should be sent to the service device, but nevertheless forwards a second set of packets from the subscriber device to the service device while the subscriber device is coupled to the second access network.
