Control plane initiated switchover for 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 disaggregated broadband network gateway (DBNG) user plane device, cause the DBNG user plane device to:
• receive, from a DBNG control plane device, a message indicating that a role of the DBNG user plane device for a subscriber group (SGRP) is to change;
• and
• cause, based on the message, the role of the DBNG user plane device for the SGRP to change.

A disaggregated broadband network gateway (DBNG) control plane device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors to:
• send, to a first DBNG user plane device, a first message indicating that the first DBNG user plane device is to cease having an active role for a subscriber group (SGRP) and is to have a backup role for the SGRP;
• and
• send, to a second DBNG user plane device, a second message indicating the second DBNG user plane device is to cease having a backup role for the SGRP and is to have an active role for the SGRP.
