Abstract
Automatically allocating, modifying, and deleting IP pools for use by network equipment. The network equipment is repeatedly, periodically, or continuously monitored to detect IP pool utilization. If the monitoring indicates an increase in IP pool utilization above a first predetermined threshold, a quantity of required IP pools is forecasted. The forecasted quantity of required IP pools is removed from an inventory of available IP pools and automatically assigned to the network equipment.
