18. A system in a first domain of a communications network, the system comprising:
a memory comprising instruction data representing a set of instructions; and
a processor configured to communicate with the memory and to execute the set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
send a first message to a second node associated with a second domain of the communications network, the first message comprising an indication of a resource in the first domain that is available to the second domain, wherein the first message further comprises an anonymized first global unique identifier associated with the first domain;
receive a second message comprising: an indication of a resource available on a third domain and an anonymized third global unique identifier associated with the third domain;
compare the third global unique identifier to one or more other global unique identifiers in one or more other received messages to determine one or more matching messages wherein the global unique identifiers in the one or more matching messages are equal to the third global unique identifier; and
determine an estimation of the available resources on the third domain from the resource available on the third domain as indicated in the second message and available resources as indicated in the one or more matching messages.
