A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7452 Title: Architectural Considerations in Smart Object Networking Author: H. Tschofenig, J. Arkko, D. Thaler, D. McPherson Status: Informational Stream: IAB Date: March 2015 Mailbox: Hannes.Tschofenig@gmx.net, jari.arkko@piuha.net, dthaler@microsoft.com, dmcpherson@verisign.com Pages: 24 Characters: 53504 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-iab-smart-object-architecture-06.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7452 The term "Internet of Things" (IoT) denotes a trend where a large number of embedded devices employ communication services offered by Internet protocols. Many of these devices, often called "smart objects", are not directly operated by humans but exist as components in buildings or vehicles, or are spread out in the environment. Following the theme "Everything that can be connected will be connected", engineers and researchers designing smart object networks need to decide how to achieve this in practice. This document offers guidance to engineers designing Internet- connected smart objects. This document is a product of the Internet Architecture Board.
