Abstract
A method and system for STP-aware subscriber management is disclosed for managing redundant access ports. The STP-aware system includes Access Loop Pairs which provide continuity of subscriber management information in the event of an access port failure. The STP-aware subscriber management system is particularly useful for overcoming the requirements for extra ports within Link Access Group configured access networks known in the art.
