Abstract
A disaggregated broadband network gateway (DBNG) control plane system may be configured to receive a first initialization packet associated with a user device via a first user plane and a second initialization packet associated with the user device via a second user plane. The DBNG control plane system may be configured to determine, based on at least one of the first initialization packet or the second initialization packet, one or more load balancing parameters. The DBNG control plane system may be configured to cause, based on at least one of the one or more load balancing parameters, a communication session for the user device to be established via the first user plane and not via the second user plane.
