In recent years, the mobile edge computing (MEC) has achieved various of research interests. By offloading data from the user equipments (UEs) to the MEC servers, many computationally demanding applications can be processed at the edge of the mobile networks. However, the data offloading of MEC needs to share the bandwidth with the conventional traffic in the mobile edge link. Simply using TCP on MEC offloading causes bandwidth robbery to the conventional TCP traffic. On the other hand, in the highly lossy wireless link environments, TCP fails to satisfy the MEC's strict requirement on the short transport delay. Therefore, we propose the MEC offloading transport (MOT) mechanism. MOT uses the prioritized queueing to avoid bandwidth robbery to the conventional traffic, and also uses the per-hop reliability to achieve loss-insensitive bandwidth utilization. The evaluation results show that MOT successfully avoids degrading the QoS of the conventional services, and achieves almost full utilization on the remaining bandwidth.
