Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing communication links are provided. A bridging interface that is automatically created between two or more packet gateways during a failed communications link is described. The bridging interface may be utilized during the communications link such that a user experience is not negatively impacted. Temporary ownership of internet protocol addresses may be transferred among packet gateways such that sessions are not terminated during the transfer.
