    Abstract: A device may receive, from a first network device, an authentication request that requests authentication of the device, and may provide, to the first network device, an authentication response that includes the authentication of the device. The device may provide, to the first network device and based on the authentication response, a PDU session establishment request that requests establishment of a PDU session for customer premises equipment, and may receive, from the first network device and based on the PDU session establishment request, a PDU session resource setup request that requests a resource to be established for the PDU session. The device may provide, to the first network device and based on the PDU session resource setup request, a PDU session resource setup response indicating that the resource is a GTP tunnel, and may establish the GTP tunnel with a second network device.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a network device may transmit an indication that a first access gateway function user plane (AGF-UP) device is associated with an active state for a subscriber group, an indication that a second AGF-UP device is associated with a backup state for the subscriber group, and an indication of a virtual internet protocol (IP) address associated with the subscriber group. The network device may transmit a failover indication that the second AGF-UP device is associated with the active state for the subscriber group.

    Abstract: In some implementations, an integrated broadband network gateway (BNG) device may communicate management information with a particular distributed BNG user plane device. The integrated BNG device may communicate control packets with the particular distributed BNG user plane device. The integrated BNG device may communicate session control and state information with the particular distributed BNG user plane device. The management information, the control packets, and the session control and state information may be communicated via respective interfaces between the integrated BNG device and the particular distributed BNG user plane device. Accordingly, the integrated BNG device may provide a BNG control plane for the particular distributed BNG user plane device.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a network device may receive one or more indications of one or more internet protocol (IP) addresses. The network device may determine that the one or more IP addresses are associated with an IP over Ethernet (IPoE) subscriber. The network device may generate, based at least in part on determining that the one or more IP addresses are associated with the IPoE subscriber, a mapping of the one or more IP addresses to an identifier of the IPoE subscriber. The network device may receive a network packet associated with at least one IP address of the one or more IP addresses. The network device may perform, based at least in part on the mapping of the one or more IP addresses to the identifier of the IPoE subscriber, a network service associated with the network packet on a per-IPoE-subscriber basis.

    Abstract: A network device may receive a message from a device. The network device may process the message to determine identification information associated with the device. The network device may process the message to determine identification information associated with a packet data unit (PDU) session, of one or more PDU sessions, of the device. The network device may transmit based on the identification information associated with the device and the identification information associated with the PDU session of the device, the message to another network device.

    Abstract: A device may utilize a point-to-point protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) and a point-to-point protocol (PPP) to register the device with a core network, and may establish a first packet data unit (PDU) session with the core network based on the PPPoE and the PPP. The device may configure the first PDU session, based on the PPPoE and the PPP, to provide a first service, and may generate first keep alive messages to maintain the first PDU session. The device may establish a second PDU session with the core network based on the PPPoE and the PPP, and may configure the second PDU session based on the PPPoE and the PPP, where the second PDU session is configured to provide a second service that is different than the first service. The device may generate second keep alive messages to maintain the second PDU session.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a first access gateway function (AGF) may receive, from a second AGF, a communication indicating at least one of a subscriber identity, session information, subscriber context, or session transport information associated with an active session between the second AGF and a client device. The first AGF device may detect that the second AGF device is associated with a failure. The first AGF device may transmit, to a first core network device, a request to switch a first path associated with the active session from the second AGF device to the first AGF device, wherein the request indicates at least one of the subscriber identity, the session information, the subscriber context, or the session transport information. The first AGF device may forward one or more data communications between a second core network device and the DHCP client device associated with the active session via a second path.
