Disclosed is segment routing for load balancing. A network path identification device can receive a first service request identifying a first service. The first service request can originate from a first client device. The network path identification device can select, from a Source Routing (SR) list, a first service node to provide the first service and a first network path to reach the first service node. The SR list can include a set of service nodes that provide the service and one or more network paths to reach each service node from the set of service nodes. The network path identification device can then transmit a response message to the first service request. The response message can identify the first service node and the first network path so that the first client device can use the first network path to request the first service from the first service node.
