Claim 11:
12. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores computer executable components; and
a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise:
a request component that receives a request from a device, wherein the request relates to a service; and
a network management component that, with regard to the request:
determines a group of candidate nodes from a group of nodes based on a network address space associated with a network address associated with the device and respective first network addresses associated with respective nodes of the group of nodes;
determines, from the group of candidate nodes, a group of available candidate nodes that is able to process the request based on a service type of the service, and respective operational statuses of respective candidate nodes of the group of candidate nodes, wherein the group of available candidate nodes comprises some candidate nodes of the group of candidate nodes, wherein the group of available candidate nodes comprises respective available candidate nodes comprising a first available candidate node and a second available candidate node, and wherein some of the respective first network addresses are respective second network addresses associated with the respective available candidate nodes;
ranks the second respective network addresses associated with the respective available candidate nodes of the group of available candidate nodes based on respective bandwidths associated with the respective available candidate nodes, wherein the second respective network addresses comprise a first network address and a second network address associated with the first available candidate node and a third network address associated with the second available candidate node, and wherein the ranking comprises ranking the first network address and the second network address higher than the third network address based on determining that a combined bandwidth associated with a combination of the first network address and the second network address that are associated with the first available candidate node is higher than a bandwidth associated with the second network address associated with the second available candidate node; and
determines an available candidate node of the group of available candidate nodes that is to process the request based on the ranking of the respective second network addresses associated with the respective available candidate nodes of the group of available candidate nodes and a defined service performance criterion associated with the device.
