Abstract
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.
