Abstract
Computer-readable media, systems, and methods for dynamic overflow pool allocation are described. In embodiments, a new session registration request is monitored for and, upon receiving the new session registration request, it is determined whether an existing pool associated with a home agent has crossed below a minimal threshold. In various embodiments, if it is determined that the existing pool has crossed below a minimal threshold, an overflow is obtained. In various other embodiments, it is determined whether an existing home agent pool has crossed a maximum threshold and, if so, it is determined whether at least one session remains using the overflow pool. In various other embodiments, if no sessions remain using the overflow pool, the overflow pool is returned.
