Relating Lrequest and LCPU 
Lrequest/λrequest=Wrequest = P-tnetwork (and from now on, we will ignore tnetwork).
LCPU/λCPU=WCPU where λCPU counts both arrivals from outside (λrequest) and in addition, treats responses from the cloud as "requests". 
Because of the simple structure of cloud (edge) services as programs, λCPU=αλrequest for some proportionality constant α≥1.
