Bandwidth Management
Bandwidth management is the process of measuring, controlling, and optimizing network traffic to ensure efficient use of available bandwidth and maintain quality of service.
Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data to improve response times and save bandwidth.
Edge computing is a distributed information technology (IT) architecture in which client data is processed at the periphery of the network, as close to the originating source as possible. This approach moves some portion of storage and compute resources out of the central Data Center and closer to the source of the data itself.
By shortening the distance between where data is generated and where it's processed, edge computing reduces latency, conserves bandwidth, and enables more efficient data processing for time-sensitive applications. It's particularly relevant in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) and applications requiring real-time processing.
Edge computing typically operates through the following mechanisms:
Key aspects of edge computing:
