The Linux Foundation's Open Glossary of Edge Computing project curates and defines terms related to the field of edge computing, collecting common and accepted definitions into an openly licensed repository.
Consider documenting these phrases and deployment scenarios:
Bump in the Wire: Deployment scenario in which MEC platform is located between base station and mobile core network
Distributed EPC: Deployment scenario in which MEC logically includes all or part of EPC components
Distributed S/PGW: Deployment scenario similar to Distributed EPC with exception of SGW and PGW portions being deployed at edge and control plane functions (MME and HSS) are at operator’s network core.
Distributed SGW with Local Breakout: This scenario allows users to reach both MEC apps and operator’s core supported apps at same APN. In this scenario, both SGW-LBO and MEC apps may be hosted as virtual network functions in same MEC platform.
Control/User Plane Separation (CUPS): All of the above options may involve distribution of EPC gateways at the network edge.
I think these are best fit into the taxonomy project, and I will include them in that effort. If we then think they fit into the glossary we can also add them.
