Summary:
|
With the development of new emerging vertical industrial applications, the traffic of users and connected devices is growing exponentially, which put forward strict requirements for network forwarding performance. Multi-access edge computing provides low latency and high bandwidth by its proximity to the users. However, the networking performance and communication capacity in multi-access edge computing may encounter bottlenecks, because of the resource limitations of multi-access edge computing, growing burden of switching to overlay networking, resource consumption of virtualisation, making it difficult to satisfy service level agreement (SLA) and QoS requirements of various applications.
The accelerating technology is effective to further improve the networking performance in multi-access edge computing by using acceleration resources as defined in [ITU-T Y.NAEC]. The networking functions and applications in multi-access edge computing are offloaded to the acceleration resources (such as DPU, ASIC, FPGA, NPU, and smartNIC). But the signalling architecture and procedure of acceleration resource orchestration including discovery, lifecycle management, fault management in multi-access edge computing have not been specified.
Therefore, this contribution proposes to initiate a new work item to clarify the signalling requirements, reference signalling architecture, enhanced interfaces and procedure for acceleration resources orchestration in multi-access edge computing
