Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a variety of devices, methods, and systems for load balancing in the internet of things. Devices and other entities can be grouped together in a load balancing group and traffic for such devices balanced according to load balancing criteria. Groups may be discovered, created, manipulated, and deleted by various entities.

Claim (Index 9):
A load balancing proxy connected to a communications network, the load balancing proxy being configured to autonomously manage one or more load balancing groups, the load balancing proxy comprising:\n a memory storing computer-executable instructions; and a processor that, when executing the instructions, performs operations comprising:\n receiving a request to create a load balancing group, the request being automatically generated by a given device among a number of devices eligible to join the load balancing group; \n creating, automatically and based on the request to create the load balancing group, the load balancing group, wherein the load balancing group comprises at least one load balancing group resource; \n receiving an indication to add, to the load balancing group, a device from among the number of devices eligible to join the load balancing group; \n adding, automatically and based on the received indication, the device to the load balancing group; and \n balancing, automatically and based on the load balancing group resource, traffic associated with the devices in the load balancing group.
