1. A method for distributing load in a network of processing nodes, wherein the network includes a requesting node, and a set of external processing nodes, the method comprising:
sending an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message to each external processing node of the set of external processing nodes;
identifying one or more external processing nodes from the set of external processing nodes as responding nodes based on a receipt of response to a corresponding ICMP message thereto;
selecting an external processing node from the identified responding nodes as a most suitable external processing node having capability to fulfill a video processing request submitted by the requesting node;
sending a transmission package from the requesting node to the selected external processing node for processing thereof; and
receiving a binary response from the selected external processing node.
