FLIP:FLexible IoT Path Programming Framework for Large-scale IoT
share
With the rapid increase in smart objects forming IoT fabric, it is inevitable to see billions of devices connected together, forming large-scale IoT networks. This expeditious increase in IoT devices is giving rise to increased user requirements and network complexity. Collecting big data from these IoT devices with optimal network utilization and simplicity is becoming more and more challenging. This paper proposes FLIP- FLexible IoT Path Programming Framework for Large-scale IoT. The distinctive feature of FLIP is that it focuses on the IoT fabric from the perspective of user requirements and uses SDN techniques along with DPI technology to efficiently fulfill the user requirements and establish datapath in the network in an automated and distributed manner. FLIP utilizes SDN structure to optimize network utilization through in-network computing and automated datapath establishment, also hiding network complexity along the way. We evaluated our framework through experiments, and results indicate that FLIP has the potential to fulfill user requirements in an automated fashion and optimize network utilization.
