Managing distributed address pools within network devices |
摘要 |
In general, techniques are described for managing distributed address pools within network devices. A network device that includes a control unit and at least one interface may implement these techniques. The control unit stores data defining a network address pool shared by both the network device and another network device. The control unit includes a shared pool manager module that evaluates the data defining the network address pool to determine a block of addresses of the network address pool that is not in use by the other network device. The at least one interface transmits a request to the other network device requesting the determined block and receives a response from the other network device indicating whether one or more addresses of the requested block are available. The control unit then allocates one or more addresses from the requested block to subscriber devices based on the indication in the response.
