Fog server deployment considering network topology and flow state in local area networks
Jung‐Hoon Lee, Sang–Hwa Chung, Won-Suk Kim · 2017
Fog computing can reduce service response time and dramatically reduce network traffic. To take advantage of fog computing, a fog server must be deployed on the network device near the user to handle the service. However, there has been little research on where to deploy the fog server. In fact, there are so many things to consider in deploying fog servers. In this paper, we analyze the challenges when IoT and fog computing are combined. Then, we describe the fog server deployment algorithm considering the data movement distance and computing resource in fog computing environment, and see how it is deployed by simple example. Finally, we verified through experiment that the proposed fog server deployment algorithm can reduce service response time and overall network traffic.
