Computing Power Network: An Interworking Architecture of Computing and Network Based on IP Extension
Bo Lei, Qianying Zhao, Jie Mei · 2021
The introduction of edge computing has brought new changes in network traffic model. From the perspective of users, resources in different locations are not equal. For providing users with a better service experience, the distance between users and resources (different latency), network conditions, as well as charging and many other factors are needed to be considered. This paper considering various resources proposes an interworking architecture of computing and network based on IP extension: Computing power network. It is a new type of network that realizes the best resource allocation, by distributing computing, storage, algorithm and other resource information of service nodes through network control plane (such as centralized controller, distributed routing protocol, etc.). It combines network context and user requirements to provide the optimal distribution, association, transaction and scheduling of computation storage and network resources.
