Technologies for network device load balancers for accelerated functions as a service

Abstract

Technologies for load balancing on a network device in an edge network are disclosed. An example network device includes circuitry to receive, in an edge network, a request to access a function, the request including one or more performance requirements, identify, as a function of an evaluation of the performance requirements and on monitored properties of each of a plurality of devices associated with the network device, one or more of the plurality of devices to service the request, select one of the identified devices according to a load balancing policy, and send the request to the selected device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A network device comprising:
 circuitry to:
 receive, in an edge network, a request to access a function, the request including one or more performance requirements; 
 identify, as a function of an evaluation of the performance requirements and on monitored properties of each of a plurality of devices associated with the network device, one or more of the plurality of devices to service the request; 
 select one of the identified devices according to a load balancing policy; and 
 send the request to the selected device.
