Abstract: In a method and apparatus for allocating processing in a network, a processing request is received. It is determined if a first processing node in the network is capable of handling the processing request. If the first processing node is incapable of handling the processing request alone, one or more additional processing nodes from the network are allocated to assist in handling the processing request.
