A first device may establish a connection with a second device, and may provide a connection check RPC message to the second device. The first device may receive a verification RPC message from the second device, and may provide, to the second device, a sync domains RPC request that includes a first list of active domains with associated address pools. The first device may receive, from the second device, a sync domains RPC response that includes threshold values for the active domains included in the first list of active domains, and may provide, to the second device, a sync pools RPC request that includes a first list of address pools associated with the active domains. The first device may receive, from the second device, a sync pools RPC response that includes confirmation of the first list of address pools, and may allocate addresses of an address pool to a CPE.

Network device interface for supporting centralized address pool management

A network device may maintain, for a user device, a pool domain into which address prefixes are allocated from a partition of an address pool management (APM) device, and may estimate, based on pool domain data, an average subscriber login rate for the pool domain by the user device. The network device may estimate, based on the pool domain data, an average response latency per apportionment alarm, and may calculate a dynamic apportionment threshold based on the average subscriber login rate for the pool domain and the average response latency per apportionment alarm. The network device may utilize the dynamic apportionment threshold for the user device.
