Existing simulators for performance analysis of resource management techniques in edge computing have a limitation: they lack horizontal management features such as inter-server clustering and container registry placement. To address this issue, this paper proposes EdgeNet, a new simulator specialized for modeling of network overhead and server clustering algorithm in edge computing environments. EdgeNet provides a Python library that can be used to develop leader election algorithms for clustered server groups, facilitating research into horizontal resource management approaches that were previously difficult to study.
