Summary:A computing node to implement a federation management entity associated with a federated MEC network includes a NIC and processing circuitry coupled to the NIC. The processing circuitry is configured to detect a request for a MEC service, the request originating from a MEC application instantiated on a first MEC host within a first MEC system of the federated MEC network. A second MEC system of the federated MEC network is selected, which includes a second MEC host providing the MEC service. A set of common credentials for secure communication between the first and second MEC systems is determined. A response to the request is generated for communication to the first MEC system via the NIC. The response includes the set of common credentials and identification information of a MEC management entity in the second MEC system. The MEC management entity provides access to the MEC service.
