Abstract: Determining which edge nodes should be used for data feed preprocessing based on response time between the edge nodes and the sources and network bandwidth usage. Edge node determination does not rely on which edge node is closest in physical proximity to the source, but rather makes a determination that minimizes transmission time and ensures network bandwidth usage is minimized. Machine learning models associated with source and edge node are trained over time based on observed response times and/or network bandwidth utilization, subsequently the models are executed with bandwidth network set to zero and the model outputting the lowest response time is deemed to be the edge node that is used.

Abstract: A local area network tracking system and method of use is described herein. An exemplary embodiment of the system comprises a central tracker server that registers and tracks third-party vendor kiosks when the kiosks connect to a retail store local area network. The unique tracker server system is configured to efficiently route web application traffic on the same retail store local area network. The tracker server stores a local IP address and a unique identifier for each vendor kiosk connected to a particular retail store network. Customers connected to the network are routed to the tracker server to obtain the IP address for a suitable vendor kiosk, with which the customer can establish a direct wireless connection to that kiosk over the retail store network. The system described herein can be implemented without modifying any aspect of the retail store LAN infrastructure.
