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.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a network device, 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;
- and
- transmitting, by the network device, a failover indication that the second AGF-UP device is associated with the active state for the subscriber group.
A device, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors to:
- 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, wherein the virtual IP address is associated with a local endpoint of an N3 tunnel;
- and
- transmit a failover indication that the second AGF-UP device is associated with the active state for the subscriber group.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
- 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, wherein the virtual IP address is further associated with an endpoint of a control packet redirect interface (CPRi) tunnel;
- and
- transmit a failover indication that the second AGF-UP device is associated with the active state for the subscriber group.
