SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MAPPING, MIGRATING, AND/OR PROCESSING DATA OVER A NETWORK

Abstract

This disclosure describes systems and methods for mapping, migrating, and/or processing data over a network. The network utilizes a heterogeneous fog architecture having hyper fog nodes and regular fog nodes. The hyper fog node may determine a time-delay requirement and a computation requirement of an application of a terminal device. The hyper fog node groups or clusters virtual network functions (VNFs) in a service function chain (SFC) associated with the application. The hyper fog node monitors a data traffic threshold associated with the plurality of VNFs. If the data traffic threshold is met, the hyper fog node may migrate the VNFs to one or more regular fog nodes.
