Abstract
A first plurality of network configuration controllers of a controller may distribute, using a consistent hashing algorithm, a plurality of connection sessions with a plurality of network devices among the plurality of network configuration controllers. The controller may monitor a number of connection sessions maintained by each of the first plurality of network configuration controllers. The controller may add, based on monitoring the number of connection sessions maintained by each of the first plurality of network configuration controllers, an additional network configuration controller to the first plurality of network configuration controllers to form a second plurality of network configuration controllers. The second plurality of network configuration controllers may, in response to adding the additional network configuration controller to the first plurality of network configuration controllers, re-distribute, using the consistent hashing algorithm, one or more connection sessions of the plurality of connection sessions among the second plurality of network configuration controllers.
