Abstract

In edge/fog computing infrastructures, the resources and services are offloaded to the edge and computations are distributed among different nodes instead of transmitting them to a centralized entity. Distributed Hash Table (DHT) systems provide a solution to organizing and distributing the computations and storage without involving a trusted third party. However, the physical locations of nodes are not considered during the creation of the overlay which causes some efficiency issues. In this paper, Locality aware Distributed Addressing (LADA) model is proposed that can be adopted in distributed infrastructures to create an overlay that considers the physical locations of participating nodes. LADA aims to address the efficiency issues during the store and lookup processes in DHT overlay. Additionally, it addresses the privacy issue in similar proposals and removes any possible set of fixed entities. Our studies showed that the proposed model is efficient, robust and is able to protect the privacy of the locations of the participating nodes.
