A method includes receiving a request from a network source to create a logical socket on a logical port. The method includes accessing a structure that indicates a plurality of logical socket allocation policies to select a first of the plurality of socket allocation policies that corresponds to the logical port. Each of the plurality of logical socket allocation policies governs logical socket allocation for one or more ports, wherein logical allocation policies govern at least one of 1) the number of logical sockets that are allocated to the one or more logical ports, 2) a maximum number of logical sockets shared between a grouping of two or more logical ports, and 3) a maximum number of logical sockets. The method includes determining if the first logical socket allocation policy allows for allocation of the logical socket for the network source to communicate. The method includes allocating a logical socket.
