Abstract
An apparatus in one embodiment comprises at least one processing device that includes a processor coupled to a memory. The processing device is configured to receive in a requesting device a service availability notification relating to availability of one or more services implemented by a service providing device, to generate in the requesting device a request for a particular service based at least in part on the received service availability notification, and to send the request for the particular service from the requesting device to the service providing device. The requesting device illustratively comprises a resource-constrained device relative to the service providing device with respect to the particular service, and the particular service comprises a service that is capable of being performed in the requesting device but is offloaded from the requesting device to the service providing device via the request in order to conserve resources of the requesting device.
