ABSTRACT
Smart communities use myriad IoT devices and the data they transmit to perform global optimization. In network-transparent service provision, data transmitted from IoT devices are analyzed using network devices such as switches and routers in the edge region to add value to the data without modifying the IoT devices. However, to establish a mechanism for providing such network transparency services while complying with the opt-in or opt-out of data provided by users, data distribution management is necessary to determine the stored location and path of the target data. In addition, because a smart community environment is assumed to be a heterogeneous computing-resource environment, it is necessary to envision a dynamic relocation function for transparent network services considering the usage of computing resources. In this study, we proposed a method for managing and migrating transparent network services deployed on edge nodes using containers and linked it to an existing information distribution management mechanism that enables data distribution management at the service level. In the experiments, we confirmed that dynamic placement was possible under a load. We also measured the response delay associated with the provision of a transparent network service and confirmed that the associated processing delay was approximately 10 ms.
