| contents | In this paper, we conduct an experimental study to provide a general sense of the application response time implications that inter-cluster communication experiences at the edge at the example of a specific IoT-edge-cloud contiuum solution from the EU Project ICOS called ClusterLink. We create an environment to emulate different networking topologies that include multiple cloud or edge sites scenarios, and conduct a set of tests to compare the application response times via ClusterLink to direct communications in relation to node distances and request/response payload size. Our results show that, in an edge context, ClusterLink does not introduce a significant processing overhead to the communication for small payloads as compared to cloud. For higher payloads and on comparably more aged consumer hardware, ClusterLink version 0.2 introduces communication overhead relative to the delay experienced on the link. |
