1. A method of managing capabilities of a media streaming network using at least one processor, the method comprising:
receiving a capability request for media streaming capabilities of an edge data network (EDN);
determining the media streaming capabilities of the EDN;
transmitting a capability response based on the determined media streaming capabilities;
receiving a media processing workflow request based on the capability response;
establishing a media streaming session according to the media processing workflow request; and
