Section outline


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

      •Gain a comprehensive understanding of how the Transport and Internet Layer protocols enable communication and connectivity in IoT systems.
      •Evaluate transport protocols used in IoT, such as TCP and UDP, considering their strengths, and weaknesses in relation to specific IoT applications.
      •Gain knowledge of addressing schemes and routing protocols used in IoT networks, including IP addressing, 6LoWPAN, and RPL, to facilitate efficient and scalable communication.
      •Understand various IoT network architectures, including star, mesh, and hybrid topologies, and how they impact the selection and implementation of transport and internet layer protocols.

    • •How does the choice of transport layer protocol impact the performance and efficiency of IoT systems?
      •Compare IPv4 and IPv6 in terms of addressing schemes and the number of available addresses.
      •Define and compare star, mesh, and tree network architectures in IoT.
