Migration Routing Algorithm for Microservice Based Fog Computing System

The new generation of communication networks has provided the basis for the realization of new classes of services, one of which are URLLC services. These services include concepts such as the Tactile Internet. The transmission medium for URLLC requires high bandwidth and reliability of communication channels as well as ultra-low latency in the network. To cover these requirements, various technologies such as fog computing and microservice architecture are being introduced into the network architecture. The latter is more often recommended together with support for migration of microservices between devices. This paper considers one of the most important migration tasks, namely determining an efficient path to the destination server. The parameters that need to be considered for efficient routing in microservice migration were identified, as well as the network architecture layer that should control the migration. The results show that the proposed solution is preferred for application over the AODV protocol.
