 Cloud-like capabilities located at the infrastructure edge, including from the user perspective access to elastically-allocated compute, data storage and network resources. Often operated as a seamless extension of a centralized public or private cloud, constructed from micro data centers deployed at the infrastructure edge. Sometimes referred to as distributed edge cloud.

 ### Edge Computing
 
 The delivery of computing capabilities to the logical extremes of a network in order to improve the performance, operating cost and reliability of applications and services. By shortening the distance between devices and the cloud resources that serve them, and also reducing network hops, edge computing mitigates the latency and bandwidth constraints of today's Internet, ushering in new classes of applications. In practical terms, this means distributing new resources and software stacks along the path between today's centralized data centers and the increasingly large number of devices in the field, concentrated, in particular, but not exclusively, in close proximity to the last mile network, on both the infrastructure and device sides.

 ### Edge Data Center
 
-A data center which is capable of being deployed as close as possible to the edge of the network, in comparison to traditional centralized data centers. Capable of performing the same functions as centralized data centers although at smaller scale individually. Because of the unique constraints created by highly-distributed physical locations, edge data centers often adopt autonomic operation, multi-tenancy, distributed and local resiliency and open standards. Edge refers to the location at which these data centers are typically deployed. Their scale can be defined as micro, ranging from 50 to 150 kW of capacity. Multiple edge data centers may interconnect to provide capacity enhancement, failure mitigation and workload migration within the local area, operating as a virtual data center.

+### Edge Internet Exchange
+
+An instance of internet exchange functionality being performed at an infrastructure edge data center. This function will typically be performed in the edge meet me room of an infrastructure edge data center, and may operate in a supplemental or hierarchical fashion with traditional centralized internet exchange points if a destination location is not present at the edge internet exchange. An edge internet exchange may be used in an attempt to improve end-to-end application latency compared with a centralized internet exchange.

 ### Edge Meet Me Room
 
 An area within an edge data center where tenants and telecommunications providers can interconnect with each other and other edge data centers in the same fashion as they would in a traditional meet me room environment, except at the edge.

+### Edge Network Fabric
+
+The system of network interconnections, typically dark or lit fiber, providing connectivity between infrastructure edge data centers and potentially other local infrastructure in an area. These networks due to their scale and most frequent location of operation can be considered metropolitan area networks, spanning a distinct geographical area typically located in an urban center.

 ### Edge Node
 
 A compute node, such as an individual server or other set of computing resources, operated as part of an edge computing infrastructure. Typically resides within an edge data center operating at the infrastructure edge, and is therefore physically closer to its intended users than a cloud node in a centralized data center.

 ### Internet Exchange Point (IXP)
 
-Places in which large network providers converge for the direct exchange of traffic.  A typical service provider will access tier 1 global providers and their networks via IXPs, though they also serve as meet points for like networks. IXPs are sometimes referred to as Carrier Hotels because of the many different organizations available for traffic exchange and peering. The internet edge may often connect to an IXP.
