    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for detecting duplicate hardware addresses in network devices of a computer network. A network device sends a request message on a network, the request message specifying the range of hardware addresses starting from the target hardware address. A network device determines whether at least a subset of the range of hardware addresses starting from the target hardware address is available based on response messages received from other network devices. The network device then reserves the available addresses for assigning to virtual machines (VMs) executing on the network device.

    Abstract: A disclosed method may include (1) executing a virtual router that services traffic within a network in connection with a specific network consumer and (2) dynamically scaling memory of the virtual router to accommodate a networking need of the specific network consumer by (A) installing, in at least one component of a physical network device that hosts the virtual router, a set of networking objects that facilitate servicing the traffic in connection with the specific network consumer, (B) determining an amount of memory that is consumed by the set of networking objects at the component of a physical network device, and (C) modifying a configuration file of the virtual router such that the memory of the virtual router is scaled to store the set of networking objects via the component. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.
