Abstract:
Apparatus, systems, methods, and the like, for autonomous scaling of security and other network services through initialization of a service from a network service device and/or migration of such services from one service device to another is provided. Such network scaling may allow for migration of services from existing service edges to other service edges. A security management system may coordinate the migration of services provided to a secondary network from one or more service edges to another, separate service edge while providing session synchronization during the migration. To migrate the services from the first service edge to a second service edge, a session table may be shared between the service edges and the first and second service edges may advertise service routes or endpoints with one or more priority values to control or otherwise determine which service edge is selected by a service-receiving device to receive the services.
