Nutsnbolts talk.

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) was intended as a network architecture that offers cloud-computing capabilities within the RAN or core network in the cellular world to allow processing of tasks closer to the cellular customer. It has, however, evolved to be generic to apply to any network for deploying applications and services as well as to store and process content in close proximity to mobile users.

Current MEC approaches are too invasive. In this talk, Feng et al propose an alternative light weight mobile edge computing architecture which utilizes existing Linux kernel mechanisms, namely: Traffic Control (TC) utilities, and network Namespaces.

The talk will go into details on how the Linux facilities are used and challenges encountered.
