摘要

An exemplary communication device includes a node having a processor configured to instantiate a service at the node responsive to the processor determining that the node is a superior instantiation candidate relative to a next upstream node on a downstream path of the service. An exemplary method of communicating includes instantiating a service at a node responsive to the node determining that the node is a superior instantiation candidate relative to a next upstream node on a downstream path of the service.
