Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 10, wherein the selecting a UPF of the plurality of UPFs based on the generated weights and the determined load-regions for the plurality of UPFs includes:
determining whether the particular UPF has a determined load region indicating a current load of the particular UPF is in a different load region indicating a higher current load of the particular UPF than a current load of another UPF of the plurality of UPFs; and
in response to the particular UPF having a determined load region indicating the current load of the particular UPF is in a different load region indicating a higher current load of the particular UPF than the current load of another UPF of the plurality of UPFs, weighting the selection of a UPF of the plurality of UPFs such that the particular UPF is not overloaded compared to the other UPF of the plurality of UPFs by using credit/token-based weighted scheduling or probability-based weighted scheduling.
