Abstract
A network device may assign subscriber groups to logical ports of the network device, and may generate a load balanced group that includes the logical ports assigned to the subscriber groups. The network device may provide a backup logical port for the load balanced group, and may maintain the backup logical port in an oversubscribed state or a full state. The network device may identify a subscriber group failure for one of the subscriber groups, and may switch the one of the subscriber groups to the backup logical port based on the subscriber group failure.
