For instance, to run IoT successfully, huge amounts of network reliability will be required and will also requie a very scalable network infrastructure and good bandwith to go with it, for your smartphones to be interconnected with your computer system, connected to your car, connected to your health care implants, connected to your fitness devices, connected to your home automation systems, and so on.
Well, it won`t be just bandwidth that will need to be steadily provided, because these systems connect to the internet or gateway in a variety of ways, such as long-range Wifi/Ethernet using IP protocols (TCP/UDP, including cellular), short range Bluetooth low energy, short range NFC (Near Field Communication) and others. P-P radio links and serial lines are also used.
Some devices connect straight to the internet through an IP protocol and some others with specific IoT protocols such as Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) which is a subscribe and publish messaging protocol designed for lightweight machine-to-machine communications, CAP (Constrained Application Protocol), etc.
Now these devices may need specialized IoT networking hardware to speak to the data center. Think of adding IoT to the current infrastructures on ground as bringing the engine of a Macopolo and then fixing it with benze, think it will be a great fit? That`s my point, IoT requires absolute upgrade in terms of what we have now in the network infrastructure.
Majority of today`s traditional architectures will buckle under the inceasing demand of all the connected devices. As more applications are needed to run the setup, traditional infrastructure concerns such as scale and reliability will become paramount, meaning that a robust, scalable, and intelligent infrastructure will be absolutely neccessary to handle huge traffic increment.
