Abstract
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for associating a client device with an edge server. The method includes receiving by each of a plurality of cloud servers a signal from a client device requesting a resource provided by the plurality of cloud servers. Each of the cloud servers then calculates a distance between each cloud server and the client device, and an approximate location of the client device may be determined based on the calculated distance and the known location of the cloud servers. Using the approximate location of the client device, at least one of a plurality of edge servers that are located within a predetermined distance of the client device is identified by the cloud server, and the cloud server or client device may choose one of the identified edge servers through which the client device may be associated to communicate with the cloud server.
