Section outline


    • At the end of this topic, you should be able to:

      •Understand the concept of IoT communication patterns and their significance in enabling effective communication between IoT devices.
      •Gain a comprehensive understanding of the IoT application protocols landscape and their role in enabling seamless communication between IoT devices.
      •Identify and describe the key characteristics and requirements of IoT application protocols, such as low power consumption, scalability, and security.
      •Compare and contrast different IoT application protocols, including HTTP, CoAP, MQTT, and AMQP, in terms of their architecture, features, and suitability for specific IoT applications.

    • •How do IoT application protocols contribute to seamless communication between IoT devices in heterogeneous environments?
      •Compare the architecture of HTTP, CoAP, MQTT, and AMQP in terms of their messaging paradigms and network models.
      •Describe the differences between the publish/subscribe model used by MQTT and the request/response model used by HTTP.
      •Discuss the role of security features in IoT application protocols and the potential risks of insecure protocols.
      •Provide examples of IoT applications that benefit from the use of HTTP, CoAP, MQTT, or AMQP, and explain the rationale behind the selection.
