On the Extreme Edge, a Double Triple: AT&T Domain 3.0 and Google Cloud 3.0June 22, 2017The “software-defined” focus of telecom means not only separation of the control plane and the data plane with a centralized view of the whole network or its major parts but also a distribution of intelligence—read compute—in stepping stones toward the extreme edge of the network. We hear “edge compute” embodied in such efforts as MEC, at first in “Mobile Edge Compute,” morphing into “Multi-access Edge Compute”.Subscribers Only

I usually get only general answers from vendors, and I reported some of these options for vRouter software in a series of client notes in 2014-2015. But to be fair, consumption models are certainly in a state of flux or, better said, are developing along a number of tracks, each to serve a different purpose or satisfy a service provider need.
