Poster: User-space Networking Libraries & Control Plane Negotiations for Seamless Multi-connectivity
Seppo Hätönen, Ashwin Rao, Sasu Tarkoma · 2020
Offering seamless connectivity to devices capable of simultaneously using multiple communication interfaces continues to be a hard problem. This problem is important for edge computing because edge services may be available only on a subset of networks to which the device is capable of connecting to. We argue that various aspects of this problem can be addressed by leveraging the current trends of using user space libraries for networking, and allowing control plane negotiations between user devices and networks.
