Internet of Things and Edge Computing for Real Time Applications

Edge computing is a networking technology focused on placing data processing closer to the data source to reduce latency and bandwidth usage. Edge computing refers to moving some operations from the cloud to more on-premises locations for example edge server, IoT device or a user's Personal Computer. The quantity of long-distance communication required between a client and server is reduced when computing is moved to the edge of the network. Edge computing is a new technique that was created to get over the drawbacks of cloud computing. It has advanced using 5g technology based on locally distributed computing, storage, and control services. The core of fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks and beyond is edge computing. The software used in simulation of the topologies is Cisco Packet Tracer (CPT) which is a multi-platform visual simulation tool created by Cisco Systems that enables users to build network topologies and replicate modern computer networks. A cloud and edge computing topology model are simulated and compared for their working for processing the data, from source to the destination. Mainly focusing on low-latency of the topology. After which real time application models are created and simulated in fields of agriculture for vermicomposting, and city planning considering water logging as a major issue.
