In the last few years, we have been able to see how terms like Mobile Edge Computing, Cloudlets, and Fog computing arisen as concepts that reach a level of popularity express towards network Edge. Shifting some processing tasks from Cloud brings challenges table might non-considered before in next-generation Software-Defined Networking (SDN). Efficient routing mechanisms, SDN applications are challenging deploy controllers expected different distributions. particular, with advances P4 language, there new opportunities has for computing. The development pipelines along progress regarding control-to-data plane programming protocols can also promote data control function offloading. We propose mechanism deploying planes both locally remotely attend challenges. encourage researchers develop ways functionally let cross-layer interact by specific applications. With our proposal, distribution provide lower response time deployed (local plane). Besides, it still be beneficial centralized placed plane, such path computation within same between separated networks (remote
