10. A method for enabling distribution of service functionality across network elements in a network comprising the steps of:
- a) enabling service logic to execute on one or more nodes in the network;
b) determining a preferred distribution scheme wherein the distribution scheme involves placement of nodes; and
c) distributing service functionality to nodes in accordance with the distribution scheme.

Abstract
The present invention provides more flexible engineering of network computing resources based on the actual needs of the customer, the resource requirements of the service and other relevant factors. The present invention relates to efficient use of network resources. By having the option of placing a particular function within a service on a node where it naturally fits according to its functional couplings, the inter-node communication may be reduced. As a result, the overall processing costs of the service may be minimized and efficiencies are enhanced.
