edgefog
Edgefog refers to a concept within computing that combines edge computing principles with fog computing architectures. It aims to bring data processing and analysis closer to the source of data generation, which is a core tenet of edge computing. The "fog" aspect implies a distributed layer of computing resources, including network devices, servers, and storage, that sits between the edge devices and the centralized cloud. This distributed fog layer can perform significant processing, filtering, and aggregation of data before it is sent to the cloud or acted upon locally.
The primary goal of edgefog is to reduce latency, conserve bandwidth, and enhance privacy and security. By
