1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
storing, by a user equipment (UE), edge enabler server (EES) information for a plurality of EESes of an edge computing architecture (ECA) available in a public land mobile network (PLMN);
probing, by an edge enabler client (EEC) of the UE while the UE is using an edge computing service in correspondence with a source edge application server (S-EAS) and source EES (S-EES), one or more EESes of the plurality of EESes in correspondence to the EES information to identify an EAS other than the S-EAS for use with respect to the edge computing service, wherein the probing initiates a procedure configured to invoke a response from the one or more EESes of the plurality of EESes; and
providing, by the EEC of the UE to the S-EES, an application context relocation request including EAS information for relocation of an application context associated with the edge computing service in correspondence to the probing identifying the EAS other than the S-EAS for use with respect to the edge computing service.
