IoT networking data messaging protocols

There are many strategies that IoT networked devices use to transfer data messages. Although connectivity and data messaging can sometimes blend together, we will discuss them separately for simplicity.

Not that it is really all that simple, but we will cover the most commonly used protocols. We will spend more time with the more frequently used ones.
