Systems and methods involve managing exhaustible electronic resources, such as IPv4 addresses. A determination to allocate an internet protocol (IP) address can be made based at least in part on an amount of traffic that the IP address receives when not allocated to a customer and another amount of traffic received from a prospective customer. Information directed to the allocated IP address can be received and routed to a network associated with the customer via a connection configured to share information using the IP address.

Bidding on electronic resources

Methods and apparatus for interfaces to manage last-mile connectivity and dynamic reconfiguration for direct network peerings. A system may include a data center, endpoint routers and a connectivity coordinator. The coordinator implements an interface defining connectivity operations. The coordinator receives a request for dedicated connectivity to data center resources, formatted according to the interface. The coordinator determines a connectivity provider to provide last-mile connectivity to the requester, and transmits a notification identifying the selected connectivity provider.

Interfaces to manage last-mile connectivity for direct network peerings

Systems and methods involve managing exhaustible electronic resources, such as IPv4 addresses. A spot market for the electronic resources is operated to enable users to obtain units of the electronic resources. Potential users may provide pricing criteria. When a spot price for units of the electronic resources satisfies the pricing criteria for a potential user, the potential user may be given access to a requested number of units of the electronic resources.

Methods and apparatus for dynamic bandwidth management using routing signals in a network implementing direct peerings. A system includes a resource collection, an endpoint device connected to a private link of a network path to a client network, and a bandwidth manager. The bandwidth manager receives configuration settings of the client, comprising a baseline transmission rate of traffic. The bandwidth manager determines whether a difference between a measured transmission rate of traffic over one or more network paths linking the resource collection and the client network, and a peak transmission capacity of the one or more network paths, exceeds a threshold value. In response to a determination that the difference exceeds the threshold value, the bandwidth manager initiates a transmission of a routing signal to the client network indicative of an available transmission rate that differs from the baseline transmission rate.

Dynamic bandwidth management using routing signals in networks with direct peerings

Methods and apparatus for interfaces to manage service marketplaces accessible via direct network peerings. A system may include a plurality of resource collections and a connectivity coordinator. The coordinator implements a programmatic interface defining connectivity operations. A first client may implement a service using one of the resource collections. The coordinator may use the interface to notify a second client that the service implemented by the first client is accessible via a dedicated direct physical link set up on behalf of the second client. In response to a subscription request for the service, the coordinator performs one or more configuration operations to enable a request for the service from the second client to be routed using the second client's dedicated physical link.
