Abstract: Compute first networking (CFN) is a latest distributed framework that intelligently allocates computing resources for edge computing according to computing load and network status. It requires real-time visibility of available statuses of local or remote computing resources. To the best of our knowledge, thisis the first endeavor to propose a centralized fault-detection protocol called CFN-Watchdog to well meet this CFN requirement and timely recycle resources occupied by faults. The impact of various parameters (e.g., detection thresholds, task processing time, and network delay) on the Watchdog performance is then theoretically analyzed. Extensive simulations verify the effectiveness of our proposed protocol and the accuracy of our theoretical model. This study is very helpful to optimize parameter configurations and better design fault-detection protocols for edge computing.

Key words: edge computing, compute first networking, watchdog, fault detection
