MEC architecture and ETSI MEC framework

ETSI MEC Reference Architecture

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute defines Multi-access Edge Computing through a reference architecture comprising three layers. The MEC host provides compute, storage, and network resources where MEC applications execute. The MEC platform running on each host exposes services to applications including traffic routing rules, DNS configuration, and location information. The MEC orchestrator sits at the top, managing application lifecycle across multiple MEC hosts — deciding where to instantiate applications based on latency requirements, resource availability, and user…
