Abstract:
The present application describes the generation and use of micro-pools that are assigned to various DHCP servers by an agent. In examples, each micro-pool includes a set number of IP addresses. The agent tracks which DHCP servers are assigned which micro-pools. As the IP addresses of a micro-pool are assigned to requesting computing devices, the agent may subsequently assign an additional micro-pool to a particular DHCP server.
