CONCURRENT ID ALLOCATION IN A SERVICE-BASED ARCHITECTURE

Abstract:

A method and control plane node capable of receiving, from a requester, a request for a unique identifier, selecting an identifier from a pool comprising a plurality of unique identifiers held by the control plane node, creating a key representing the selected identifier in the pool, attempting to write to an initial version of a value of the created key in order to create a key-value pair in the key-value store, wherein the writing is successful if no write previously has been performed to said initial version of the value, and if so returning, to the requester, the selected identifier as an allocated identifier.
