Abstract
In some implementations, a network device may obtain a switchover indication associated with a switchover of a group of subscriber sessions from a first user plane subscriber access device to a second user plane subscriber access device. The network device may provide, to the first user plane subscriber access device or the second user plane subscriber access device, an indication to provide, to an internet protocol (IP) address allocation entity for which the network device serves as a relay, an indication to prioritize a path from the IP address allocation entity to the second user plane subscriber access device over a path from the IP address allocation entity to the first user plane subscriber access device.
