Migration of Edge Computing Services in 5G Networks - Firewall as a Service Example.

According to Ericsson Mobility Report announced in 2017, by 2022, billions of User Equipment (UE) and IoT devices will connect to IoT networks for collecting our environmental and surrounding data. Since following users' traveling, mobile devices, including UEs, healthcare monitoring devices, and other mobility devices, will move to everywhere in the world. All edge computing services that serve these facilities need to migrate following the users' roaming. In this study, we would like to study how to migrate these services so as to serve/protect mobile devices wherever they go. We also evaluated the corresponding performance.
