With the emerge of Internet of Things, billions of devices and humans are connected directly or indirectly to the internet. This significant growth in the number of connected devices rises the needs for a new development for the current network paradigm (e.g., cloud computing). The new network paradigm, such as fog computing, along with its related edge computing paradigms, are seen as promising solutions for handling the large volume of securely-critical and delay-sensitive data that is being produced by the IoT nodes. In this paper, we give a brief overview on the IoT related computing paradigms, including their similarities and differences as well as challenges. Next, we provide a summary of the challenges and processing and storage capabilities of each network paradigm.
