Abstract
A plurality of subscriber connections for a plurality of subscribers is established, where the establishment of each subscriber connection includes receiving a connection request message from a subscriber that includes physical layer information identifying a physical access connection on which the connection request message was received. A physical layer identifier is assigned for the subscriber connection that uniquely identifies the subscriber connection and is based on the physical layer information. A first signaling message is received on a first one of the established subscriber connections and includes a subscriber identifier of a subscriber. The subscriber identifier is associated with the physical layer identifier of the first subscriber connection. Subsequently, messages are received that include the subscriber identifier of the subscriber. The ones of those messages that were received on the first subscriber connection are processed.
