Abstract
Technologies for load balancing on a network device in an edge network are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a network device receives, in the edge network, a request to access a function. The request includes one or more performance requirements. The network device identifies, as a function of an evaluation of the performance requirements and on monitored properties of each device associated with the network device, one or more of the devices to service the request. The network device selects one of the identified devices according to a load balancing policy and sends the request to the selected device.
