IoT Addressing and Connectivity Guide

This document discusses Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity concepts. It addresses problems with addressing and standards for connecting IoT nodes. Current addressing uses IPv4, while IPv6 could help solve addressing issues but requires transition methods from IPv4 like translation or tunneling. Gateways provide internet and intra-LAN connectivity. Multi-homing connects nodes to multiple networks for reliability using proxy-based or gateway-based approaches, but standardizing source/destination addressing presents a challenge. IPv6 improvements over IPv4 include larger address space, compulsory IPSec, and support for multicast.

IoT Tutorial (2)

1-What problems that we will face for IoT?


Ans: -
1-There will be a problem in addressing because there will not be
a satisfied number of addresses for IoT nodes
2-The connection between these nodes because there are
different standards
2-What is the current scheme of addressing in IoT?
Ans: -
IPv4
3-Talk about Connectivity Terminologies?
Ans: -
1-IoT LAN
2-IoT WAN
3-IoT node
4-IoT Gateway
5-IoT proxy
4-Mention functions of Gateways?
Ans: -
1-Internet connectivity
2-Intra LAN connectivity
5-What is the function of gateway in LAN network?
Ans: -
Offer connectivity between the different nodes within a network
for upstream addressing, that means beyond the gateway
6-Describe the mechanism used in upstream addressing?
Ans: -
DHCPv6
7-Describe the role of IPv6 in IoT?
Ans: -
IPv6 can solve to wide extent the problem of addressing mention
before, but the current addressing scheme is IPv4, so to go from
IPv4 to IPv6 there is no currently possible solution for this
problem but there are alternatives which can solve this problem
partially: -
a) IPv4 to IPv6 translation
b) IPv6 tunneling over IPv4
c)Application layer proxies
8-Define the term multi-homing?
Ans: -
A node in a network connected to may other networks for
increasing reliability
9-What is the main function of multi-homing?
Ans: -
Improving the overall reliability
10-What are the approaches for multi-homing?
Ans: -
a) A proxy-based approach
b) A gateway-based approach
11-What is the challenge that faces multi-homing? What is the
solution?
Ans: -
The problem is giving the source address, the destination address
and information transferred to nodes
Solution:- IEFT id trying to standardize this issue
12-Compare between IPv4 and IPv6?
Ans: -
IPv4 IPv6
Developed IEFT 1974 IEF 1998
Length (bits) 32 128
No. of addresses 232 2128
Notation Dotted decimal Hexadecimal
Dynamic allocation DHCP SLAAC/DHCPv6
of addresses
IPSec Optional Compulsory
Header size Variable Fixed
Header checksum Yes No
Header options Yes No
Broadcast addresses Yes No
Multicast address No Yes

13-Draw IPv4 and IPv6 header format?


Ans: -

14-Quiz: -
Draw illustration diagram that shows complete connection of
two LAN networks to the internet using gateways and proxies
