Project Brief - What is Kontour ?
As the edge adoption increases, clear definitions of the Edge KPIs are required to match the application to an Edge infrastructure/BP with the required capability. Different edge applications may require different characteristics from the Edge site, for example low latency, very high throughput and so on. With growing number of edge sites catering to different needs and use-cases, there needs to be a categorisation of edge sites based on certain criteria. There may be certain other requirements like security, encryption etc. Project Kontour targets to define Edge KPIs for the plethora of edge applications. Refer list of KPIs
...
| Use Case | Requirements | KPI (Example*) |
|---|---|---|
| Video camera transmitting security footage. |
| ULTRA_LOW_LATENCY: Latency range should be 0-2 milliseconds. HIGH_UPLOAD_THPUT: Upload throughput should be 10-100 Gbps |
Retail advertising targeting ads and information for retail organisations |
| HIGH_IPS: Instructions/second processing should be of the order of 2000-4000 HIGH_PIPS: Parallel instructions/second processing should be of the order of 4000-8000 LOW_UPLOAD_THPUT: Upload throughput should be 100 Mbps - 1 Gbps |
