Abstract

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device in which a processing system enables mobile devices on a communication network to perform latency tests to obtain first latency test data, determines an edge latency for each mobile device resulting in edge latencies, identifies a group of mobile device clusters according to the edge latencies, and identifies network edge server locations according to the group of mobile device clusters. The processing system also receives second latency test data from each of the network edge servers, and determines a data center latency for each of the network edge servers, resulting in a plurality of data center latencies. The processing system also identifies a data center location according to the data center latencies, and determines a network topology for the communication network; the network topology includes the data center location and the edge server locations. Other embodiments are disclosed.
