Systems and methods for latency-aware edge computing

Method for network optimization, the method comprising:

• identifying a workload including a request for service from a source;
• determining network parameters associated with a network architecture, the network architecture comprising a data center and an edge data center;
• determining, using the network parameters, a first programmatically expected latency associated with the data center and a second programmatically expected latency associated with the edge data center;
• determining, based at least in part on a difference between the first programmatically expected latency or the second programmatically expected latency, a distribution of the workload to be routed between the data center and the edge data center, wherein, the distribution is determined based at least in part on the difference exceeding a predetermined threshold;
• partitioning the request into a first portion and a second portion;
• adding a first header to the first portion and a second header to the second portion;
• and
• routing the first portion of the request to the data center and the second portion of the request to the edge data center based on the distribution of the workload, wherein the routing of the first portion to the data center is based on the first header, and the routing of the second portion to the edge data center is based on the second header, wherein at least one of the data center or the edge data center is configured to process at least one of the first portion or the second portion of the request and generate an output to provide the service requested by the source.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a workload including a request for service from a source;
• determining network parameters associated with a network architecture, the network architecture comprising a data center and an edge data center;
• determining, using the network parameters, a first programmatically expected latency associated with the data center and a second programmatically expected latency associated with the edge data center;
• determining, based at least in part on a difference between the first programmatically expected latency or the second programmatically expected latency, a distribution of the workload to be routed between the data center and the edge data center, wherein, the distribution is determined based at least in part on the difference exceeding a predetermined threshold;
• partitioning the request into a first portion and a second portion;
• add a first header to the first portion and a second header to the second portion;
• and
• routing the first portion of the request to the data center and the second portion of the request to the edge data center based on the distribution of the workload, wherein the non-transitory computer-executable instructions further cause the processor to route the first portion to the data center based on the first header, and route the second portion to the edge data center based on the second header, wherein at least one of the data center or the edge data center is configured to process at least one of the first portion or the second portion of the request and generate an output to provide the service requested by the source.
