Abstract: Examples of dynamically selecting tunnel endpoints are described. In an example, a request for authenticating a client device connected to an edge device via a wired link is received. The request includes information indicative of a port of the edge device at which the client device is connected and a type of the client device. Based on at least one of the port, the type, resource availability of a plurality of network devices, and location of the plurality of network devices, a network device is identified as a tunnel endpoint. A message indicative of a successful authentication of the client device is sent to the edge device. The message includes a network address of the network device identified as the tunnel endpoint.
