Abstract
A home agent allocates trackers to each of a plurality of caching agents, monitors each caching agent's usage of the allocated trackers, and determines whether a caching agent under-utilizes or over-utilizes them. In the case of under-utilization, the home agent retrieves at least one tracker from the allocation to the caching agent. In the case of over-utilization, the home agent allocates more trackers to the caching agent.
