The entry node may not be aware which node of the plurality of nodes is the node selected for supporting the advanced service on the network. The selected fields may include vendor specific fields. The method may further include distributing the query message to the plurality of nodes. In response to the query message, the method may further include determining which of the plurality of nodes can be selected for supporting the advanced service on the network. The method may also include disseminating the information regarding which of the plurality of nodes can be selected for supporting the advanced service on the network to each of the plurality of nodes which can be selected for supporting the advanced service on the network.
