TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of scenarios and problems associated with CFN and identify several key areas which require more investments in architecture and protocol to achieve the balanced computing and networking resource utilization among edges in CFN.
Abstract: Service providers are exploring the edge computing to achieve better
response time, control over data and carbon energy saving by moving
the computing services towards the edge of the network in scenarios of
5G MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing), virtualized central office, and
others. Providing services by sharing computing resources from
multiple edges is emerging and becoming more and more useful for
computationally intensive tasks. The service nodes attached to
multiple edges normally have two key features, service equivalency and
service dynamism. Ideally they should serve the service in a
computational balanced way. However lots of approaches dispatch the
service in a static way, e.g., to the geographically closest edge, and
they may cause unbalanced usage of computing resources at edges which
further degrades user experience and system utilization. This draft
provides an overview of scenarios and problems associated. Networking
taking account of computing resource metrics as one of its top
parameters is called Compute First Networking (CFN) in this document.
The document identifies several key areas which require more
investigations in architecture and protocol to achieve the balanced
computing and networking resource utilization among edges in CFN.
