Summary:There is provided a method for handling execution of a service in a network. The method is performed by a first network node. The first network node is a first network function (NF) node of a service consumer or a first service communication proxy (SCP) node that is configured to operate as an SCP between the first NF node and second NF nodes of a service producer for providing the service. The method is performed in response to an event that signals that the service is to be executed. The method comprises, if a first configuration criterion of the first NF node and/or a second configuration criterion of at least one of the second NF nodes is met, identifying (102) that network traffic for executing the service is to be distributed among the second NF nodes according to a capacity of one or more of the second NF nodes.
