IoT and m2m
- 1. Chapter 3 IoT & M2M Bahga & Madisetti, © 2015Book website: http://www.internet-of-things-book.com
- 2. Outline • M2M • Differences and Similarities between M2M and IoT • SDN and NFV for IoT Bahga & Madisetti, © 2015Book website: http://www.internet-of-things-book.com
- 3. Machine-to-Machine (M2M) • Machine-to-Machine (M2M) refers to networking of machines (or devices) for the purpose of remote monitoring and control and data exchange. Bahga & Madisetti, © 2015Book website: http://www.internet-of-things-book.com
- 4. Machine-to-Machine (M2M) • An M2M area network comprises of machines (or M2M nodes) which have embedded hardware modules for sensing, actuation and communication. • Various communication protocols can be used for M2M local area networks such as ZigBee, Bluetooh, ModBus, M-Bus, Wirless M-Bus, Power Line Communication (PLC), 6LoWPAN, IEEE 802.15.4, etc. • The communication network provides connectivity to remote M2M area networks. • The communication network can use either wired or wireless networks (IP- based). • While the M2M area networks use either proprietary or non-IP based communication protocols, the communication network uses IP-based networks.

- 5. M2M gateway • Since non-IP based protocols are used within M2M area networks, the M2M nodes within one network cannot communicate with nodes in an external network. • To enable the communication between remote M2M area networks, M2M gateways are used.

- 6. Difference between IoT and M2M • Communication Protocols • M2M and IoT can differ in how the communication between the machines or devices happens. • M2M uses either proprietary or non-IP based communication protocols for communication within the M2M area networks. • Machines in M2M vs Things in IoT • The "Things" in IoT refers to physical objects that have unique identifiers and can sense and communicate with their external environment (and user applications) or their internal physical states. • M2M systems, in contrast to IoT, typically have homogeneous machine types within an M2M area network.

- 7. Difference between IoT and M2M • Hardware vs Software Emphasis • While the emphasis of M2M is more on hardware with embedded modules, the emphasis of IoT is more on software. • Data Collection & Analysis • M2M data is collected in point solutions and often in on-premises storage infrastructure. • In contrast to M2M, the data in IoT is collected in the cloud (can be public, private or hybrid cloud). • Applications • M2M data is collected in point solutions and can be accessed by on-premises applications such as diagnosis applications, service management applications, and on- premisis enterprise applications. • IoT data is collected in the cloud and can be accessed by cloud applications such as analytics applications, enterprise applications, remote diagnosis and management applications, etc. Bahga & Madisetti, © 2015Book website: http://www.internet-of-things-book.com

- 9. SDN • Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a networking architecture that separates the control plane from the data plane and centralizes the network controller. • Software-based SDN controllers maintain a unified view of the network and make confi guration, management and provisioning simpler. • The underlying infrastructure in SDN uses simple packet forwarding hardware as opposed to specialized hardware in conventional networks.

- 10. Key elements of SDN • Centralized Network Controller • With decoupled control and data planes and centralized network controller, the network administrators can rapidly configure the network. • Programmable Open APIs • SDN architecture supports programmable open APIs for interface between the SDN application and control layers (Northbound interface). • Standard Communication Interface (OpenFlow) • SDN architecture uses a standard communication interface between the control and infrastructure layers (Southbound interface). • OpenFlow, which is defined by the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) is the broadly accepted SDN protocol for the Southbound interface.

- 11. NFV • Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a technology that leverages virtualization to consolidate the heterogeneous network devices onto industry standard high volume servers, switches and storage. • NFV is complementary to SDN as NFV can provide the infrastructure on which SDN can run. Bahga & Madisetti, © 2015Book website: http://www.internet-of-things-book.com
- 12. Key elements of NFV • Virtualized Network Function (VNF): • VNF is a software implementation of a network function which is capable of running over the NFV Infrastructure (NFVI). • NFV Infrastructure (NFVI): • NFVI includes compute, network and storage resources that are virtualized. • NFV Management and Orchestration: • NFV Management and Orchestration focuses on all virtualization-specific management tasks and covers the orchestration and life-cycle management of physical and/or software resources that support the infrastructure virtualization, and the life-cycle management of VNFs.

- 13. NFV Use Case • NFV can be used to virtualize the Home Gateway. The NFV infrastructure in the cloud hosts a virtualized Home Gateway. The virtualized gateway provides private IP addresses to the devices in the home. The virtualized gateway also connects to network services such as VoIP and IPTV.
