Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed to provision name-servers. An example system disclosed herein includes a name-server evaluator to determine capacities of the plurality of name-servers, a provisioner to compute profile assignment values based on a plurality of subscriber identifiers, and an assignor to assign the subscriber identifiers to one of the plurality of name-servers based on the profile assignment values and the capacities.
Claims20
An apparatus to provision name-servers, comprising:
- a random number generator to calculate a profile assignment value based on subscriber identifiers and a pseudo random number from the random number generator;
- and
- an assignor to assign a subset of the subscriber identifiers to name-servers based on a comparison between the profile assignment value and a threshold value.
A method comprising:
- calculating a profile assignment value based on subscriber identifiers and a pseudo random number from a random number generator;
- and
- assigning a subset of the subscriber identifiers to name-servers based on a comparison between the profile assignment value and a threshold value.
A tangible machine readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to perform a method comprising:
- calculating a profile assignment value based on subscriber identifiers and a pseudo random number from a random number generator;
- and
- assigning a subset of the subscriber identifiers to name-servers based on a comparison between the profile assignment value and a threshold value.
