Edge computing in 4G and 5G cores based on application usage

A device for edge computing, comprising:

• a display,
• a processor, and a memory that stores executable instructions that when executed by the processor, perform operations comprising:
• identifying highly requested content at an access point;
• tunneling to at least one application server to download the highly requested content;
• storing the highly requested content near the access point, wherein the highly requested content is stored in a dynamic caching server;
• and
• dynamically flushing the dynamic caching server of the highly requested content when a number of requests for the highly requested content falls below a predetermined threshold.

A system for edge computing in a mobile network, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• one or more computer storage hardware devices storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by the processor, cause the processor to:
• identify highly requested content at an access point;
• tunnel to at least one application server to download the highly requested content;
• store the highly requested content near the access point, wherein the highly requested content is stored in a dynamic caching server;
• and
• dynamically flushing the dynamic caching server of the highly requested content when a number of requests for the highly requested content falls below a predetermined threshold.
