Description Simple Edge Discovery API.

How it works

  1. An application client hosted on a device attached to the operator network, or a server, makes a request to the API.
  2. The API returns:  
    • Provider: The name of the operator (or cloud provider) of the closest Edge Computing platform to the device.
    • Ern: The name of the closest Edge Computing platform to the user device.
  3. The application client on the user device uses this information to connect to the application server instance on that Edge Computing platform.
NoteThe device needs to be identifiable by the network. Our implementation requires the IP address to return a location. If an IP address is not provided by the user,  the system takes the sending IP address from the http request and then populates the IP header in the API call.
