Albert P. Niemoller has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9705741
    Abstract: Network addresses are dynamically allocated to devices based on demand. It is determined that a quantity of virtualized machine instances executed on a plurality of computing devices has changed. An updated network address allocation is dynamically assigned to a subdivision of a network in response to the quantity of virtualized machine instances. The subdivision includes the plurality of computing devices. A router for the subdivision is reconfigured to implement the updated network address allocation.

  • Publication number: 20150271018
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for dynamically allocating network addresses to devices based on demand. A first network address allocation is initially assigned to a subdivision of a network including multiple computing devices. A router for the subdivision is configured to implement the first network address allocation. Data indicating a reconfiguration of the computing devices is obtained. A second network address allocation is subsequently assigned to the subdivision of the network based at least in part on the reconfiguration of the computing devices. The router for the subdivision is reconfigured to implement the second network address allocation.
