Abstract

See full text

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a technical improvement to the problem of network congestion that exists when providing online services to clients. A system, method, and computer readable storage device use a resource assignment protocol to direct client requests for content and remote processing to a dynamic edge-compute instance placed in proximity to the client, thereby improving the Quality of Service QoS of network traffic. A policy server is implemented for serving specific clients with specific dynamically-placed services. Accordingly, traditional network traffic associated with communicating with a remote resource server and computational demand on the remote resource server are reduced, thereby making the network more efficient.
