1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a network interface of a device connected to a first network, a first network size indicator for the first network;
receiving, at the network interface, a second network size indicator for a second network;
determining, using a processor, a difference between the first network size indicator and the second network size indicator;
calculating, via the processor, a switching probability if the difference between the first network size indicator and the second network size indicator is greater than a predetermined network size difference threshold; and
migrating the device from the first network to the second network based on the switching probability.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a device connected to a network receives at a network interface a first network size indicator for a first network and a second network size indicator for a second network. A difference between the first network size indicator and the second network size indicator is determined and a switching probability is calculated if the difference between the network size indicators is greater than a predetermined network size difference threshold. The device may then migrate from the first network to the second network based on the switching probability.
