Dynamic coding for network traffic by fog computing node

摘要

In one embodiment, a method comprises determining access network conditions by a network device in an access network, the access network providing communications between a client device and a destination reachable via a data network; selecting, by the network device based on the access network conditions, one of a plurality of coding methods for network traffic between the client device and the destination, including selecting coding parameters for the one coding method; and causing, by the network device, coding to be executed on the network traffic, on behalf of the client device, according to the one coding method and the selected coding parameters.
