Techniques and systems described herein relate to shared storage systems across network devices to use unused storage space and provide backup and additional storage for devices as needed. The techniques and systems include determining availability data describing available storage locations and amounts on network devices, compiling such data at a network controller, and communicating the availability data to the network devices. The network devices then directly communicate with each other to store data remotely as needed.

Dynamic storage sharing across network devices

Detection and configuration of a logical channel may be provided. First, data traffic received on a plurality of ports of a first network device may be analyzed by a computing device. Next, based upon analyzing the data traffic received on the plurality of ports, the computing device may determine that the plurality of ports comprise a logical channel from the perspective of a second network device. The plurality of ports may then be configured as the logical channel on the first network device based upon determining that the plurality of ports comprise the logical channel from the perspective of the second network device.

Methods and apparatuses for providing clientless IP services for subscribers on a network interface that does not require either explicit client subnet configurations or explicit routes from the interface to the client subnets.

Methods and apparatuses for dynamically provisioning a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) client as a clientless internet protocol services (CLIPS) subscriber on a last-resort interface

Compute resources of multiple resource cards are assigned to compute resource pools. Each compute resource pool is typically associated with a specific service (e.g., VoIP, video service, deep packet inspection, etc). Compute resource groups are created in each compute resource pool and are allocated one or more compute resources of that compute resource pool. Those compute resources in a given resource pool that are not allocated to a compute resource group are set as backup compute resources. Upon a failure of a compute resource in a compute resource pool that includes backup compute resources, a backup compute resource is selected and takes over the function of the failed compute resource. Upon a failure of a compute resource in a compute resource group of a compute resource pool that does not include a backup compute resource, the traffic is load balanced across the remaining compute resources of that compute resource group.
