Apparatus and methods for establishing an Internet of Things (“IoT”) network. The IoT network may include a first IoT node and an IoT hub. The first IoT node may include a transmitter configured to transmit to the IoT hub a request to join the IoT network. The request may include a first Media Access Control address of the first IoT node and a first international mobile subscriber identity number of a SIM card included on the first IoT node. The IoT node may include a transmitter configured to transmit, to a second and a third node, a request requesting the second and third node to push a network processing function to the first IoT node. The request may be transmitted available CPU processing power of the first IoT node is determined to be below a threshold value for an interval of time.
