Summary

This chapter covered a necessary portion of IoT communication. Using IP-based standard communication greatly simplifies design and allows for rapid and easy scaling. Scaling is critical for IoT deployments that reach into thousands or millions of nodes. Using an IP-based transport allows for common tools to simply just work. 6LoWPAN and Thread demonstrate standards that can be applied to traditionally non-IP protocols such as 802.15.4. Both protocols allow for IPv6 addressing and mesh networking to massive IoT networks. 802.11 is a significant and extremely successful protocol that forms the basis of the WLAN, but can also reach into IoT devices and sensors using 802.11ah or transportation systems using 802.11p. The following table contrasts a non-IP traditional protocol to an IP protocol. Typically, the difference will be in power, speed, and range.

The architect needs to balance these parameters to deploy the correct solution:

	802.15.4	802.11ah
IP Base	Non-IP based (need 6LoWPAN or...
