Edge computing emulation in Mininet-WiFi

[Sarah K]

Hello,

Please don't ignore my question :( and guide me even with the slightest clarification.

I want to emulate an edge computing scenario in Mininet-WiFi.

I have cars that will communicate with APs through adhoc links, and each AP is connected to a host (Edge Server).

I want cars to request services in edge servers.

Question 1 : How can I simulate the big latency of communication between cars and edge? Should I add the latency parameter in net.addLink(ap1, host1)?

Question 2 : How can I send the request from the car to the host (edge server) ? Is there any way to proceed other than SDNs?

Thanks a lot

It seems to me that your questions can be answered with some Linux, Python and computer networking knowledge. Honestly, you need no specific feature supported by mn-wifi to achieve the goals.

Can you please at least help me through?

This list has more than 1000 topics and some of them deal with subjects related to what you need. I can't just answer every question, as if I do, I'll spend days just responding to all the messages I get daily. Nevertheless, reading, studying, and knowing how to interpret a problem is part of learning.

Hi Sarah,

I would try and answer your questions.

Question1: To simulate latency between the MEC host and the car you can add delay parameter into the net.addlink(ap1, MEChost)

AP1 is the AP to which the car should connect to access the MEC host

Question2: The request could be sent by different ways e.g., you could  use SDN controller to install flows inside the the accesspoint/openflow switch to redirect all the car traffic towards the MEC host.

i hope this helps.
