This application is to be instantiated on the UE side. It requires that a DeviceApp is also instantiated at the UE. This module requests the DeviceApp to instantiate a MecResponseApp in the MEC system. Once the peer MEC application is up and running, this module sends periodic messages to the MEC application and waits for a response. It collects metrics such as round-trip time.
