The Internet of Edges is a new paradigm whose objective is to keep data and processing close to the user. This book presents three different levels of Edge networking: MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing), Fog and Far Edge (sometimes called Mist or Skin). It also reviews participatory networks, in which user equipment provides the resources for the Edge network.
Edge networks can be disconnected from the core Internet, and the interconnection of autonomous edge networks can then form the Internet of Edges.
This book analyzes the characteristics of Edge networks in detail, showing their capacity to replace the imposing Clouds of core networks due to their superior server response time, data security and energy saving.
The Internet of Edges, the subtitle of this book, is the formulation in simple terms of a new generation of networks: an infrastructure of communications and services that is realized at the edge of the network. The Internet of Edges is an interconnection of Edge networks. There are three levels of Edge networks: Skin networks, Fog networks and Mobile/Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) networks. Skin networks connect clients to each other on the far edge, and the network nodes that support services are within a few meters of the users. Fog networks are more for company use. In a sense, they are replacing local area networks. However, their structure is a little different since the objective is to connect the company’s employees to a small data center located within the company. MEC networks originate from the Edge networks of telecommunications operators. These are the networks using 5G and connecting customers to an operator’s data center located very close to a 5G antenna.
