      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document describes an mechanism for a standard, programmatic
   interface for address pool management.  With the remaining IPv4
   address becoming more and more scattered, it is complicated to
   manually configure the address pools on lots of Broadband Network
   Gateways(BNGs) for operators.  By introducing SDN/NFV in BNG, the
   address pools can be allocated in a centralized way.  It will not
   only simplify the address management for operators, but also improve
   the utilization efficiency of the address pool.
