The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Fifth Generation (5G) high-speed communication networks are expected not only to make it necessary to rapidly increase the number of communication nodes and generate large amounts of data but also to change the nature of the network to a more dynamic environment. However, the present network structure and the operation methods have various problems that need to be solved in order to cope with the aforementioned changes. Some issues, for example, are Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)-based and end-to-end-based centralized and rigid network structure, the lack and allocation difficulties of IP addresses, increasing network traffic forwarding massive data to the cloud at remote locations for high-capacity data processing, as well as increasing delays in receiving effective analytic results from the remote cloud server.
