PPT Slide

What did we learn at this workshop?

• Why put intelligence at the edge?

  • improves scalability.
  • raises difficult issue - do you make functionality transparent (translucent?) or visible?
  • when edge = end system, can shift responsibility for some services [but will this really work?].
  • allows offload of functionality from less capable devices to “gateway” or “surrogate” with more capability.
  • but, why use IP for this? Can’t less capable devices be considered “peripherals”?
