Abstract
A method, apparatus and system for management of policy management servers across a geographically dispersed network is described. The policy management servers produce virtual points of presence (VPOP) for call service providers. The policy management servers are configured into clusters of policy management servers and during operation can distribute available ports for each VPOP among clusters of policy management servers.

A method of policy management for a call center, the method comprising:
- configuring policy management servers into clusters of policy management servers;
- and
- distributing available ports among clusters of policy management servers.
An arrangement for policy management for a call center comprising:
- a plurality of policy management servers configured into clusters of policy management servers;
- and
- a policy management server in each of the clusters of policy management servers to distribute available ports among the clusters of policy management servers.
A policy management server comprising:
- a machine;
- and
- a computer readable medium storing a computer program product for causing the machine to query configured clusters of policy management servers to locate available ports among the clusters of policy management servers in order to allocate additional ports to a server managed by the policy management server.
A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium comprises instructions for causing a processor to:
- query configured clusters of policy management servers to locate available ports among the clusters of policy management servers in order to allocate additional ports to a server managed by the policy management server.
