Infrastructure

IPv4

what the numbers used by every device that connects to the internet must look like

6LoWPAN

 "An acronym of IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks. It is an adaption layer for IPv6 over IEEE802.15.4 links. This protocol operates only in the 2.4 GHz frequency range with 250 kbps transfer rate."

RPL

"IPv6 routing for low power/lossy networks"

Identification 

EPC

"The key concept of the architecture is EPC network over heterogeneous access network. The EPC Network provides certain static information about `Things' such as name and manufacturer."

uCode

"An identification number system that can be used to identify things in the real world uniquely."

IPv6

"An Internet Layer protocol for packet-switched internetworking and provides end-to-end datagram transmission across multiple IP networks."

URIs

"a string of characters used to identify a resource"

Comms / Transport

Wifi

"uniquely placed to support broadband and narrowband IoT applications"

Bluetooth

"connect disparate devices and industries through short-range technology can transform the way devices interact with each other"

LPWAN

"LPWA communication standards are designed for IoT use cases in the mentioned scope of wireless IoT connectivity with limited needs."

Discovery

Physical Web

 "allows for everyday devices to have a URL that corresponds with a device and allows people to interact with it without the need for an app"

mDNS

"a service that runs on a device to make it discoverable via local network DNS queries"

DNS-SD

"This protocol stack uses standard DNS messages to discover services in an IOT network"

Data Protocols

MQTT

" an OASIS standard messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). It is designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging"

CoAP

"a specialized web transfer protocol for use with constrained nodes and constrained networks in the Internet of Things"

AMQP

"open source published standard for asynchronous messaging by wire"
