GoEdge: A Scalable and Stateless Local Breakout Method

5G mobile communication networks (5G) are expected to provide a wide range of new emerging services through flexible communication with high data rates and low network latencies. In 5G, Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is one of the key technologies contributing to performance improvement for various use cases. MEC servers are deployed at edges of mobile networks, e.g., on a base station, and enable provision of new services to users. Unlike the conventional end-to-end communication, MEC needs to allow flexible communication between a client and a server. In this paper, to feasible the flexible communication, we propose an implementation design of a scalable and stateless local breakout method for MEC. It presents a function of scalable traffic steering between a client and a server. Also, a preliminary evaluation shows the feasibility of our proposed mechanism.
