US Patent 11968281 Distributed machine-learning resource sharing and request routing

Various embodiments of the present disclosure improve existing multi-layer and other network technologies by routing and processing client requests that require machine learning based on the machine learning capabilities of each network device and/or other computer resource characteristics of different network devices. This ensures that network latency and throughput, among other computer resource consumption characteristics, will be improved as machine learning processing can occur at the most suitable network device or be distributed among various suitable network devices.
