8. A method, comprising:
configuring a network component to act as a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG);
establishing a connection between customer premise equipment (CPE) and the BNG;
receiving end-user parameters and access parameters;
communicating the end-user parameters and the access parameters to one or more 5G Network Functions (NFs) by interacting with one or more service-based interfaces (SBIs); and
allowing the CPE access to the one or more 5G NFs in response to communicating the end-user parameters and the access parameters to the one or more 5G NFs;
wherein:
the network component is located between a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM) and a Non-3GPP Interworking Function (N3IWF);
the network component communicates with the N3IWF via an Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) tunnel; and
the network component interacts with the one or more SBIs via the N3IWF.
