Evaluating Networking Architectures For The Edge
In designing for edge networks, telcos must determine which applications will be deployed at each part of the edge and what’s needed to connect an edge deployment to a central data center. This might include cellular data, wired Ethernet or WiFi. The design and evaluation process should account for:
- The network bandwidth required to meet service-level objectives
- Architectures that incorporate scalability in the event that initial estimates require adjustment or networking needs continue to grow over time
- Security features and monitoring tools that can help identify and prevent breaches or attacks
