Enabling High Performance Fog Computing through Fog-2-Fog Coordination Model

Fog computing is a promising network paradigm in the IoT area as it has a great potential to reduce processing time for time-sensitive IoT applications. However, fog can get congested very easily due to fog resources limitations in term of capacity and computational power. In this paper, we tackle the issue of fog congestion through a request offloading algorithm. The result shows that the performance of fogs nodes can be increased be sharing fog's overload over several fog nodes. The proposed offloading algorithm could have the potential to achieve a sustainable network paradigm and highlights the significant benefits of fog offloading for the future networking paradigm.
