IoT: a Journey from Wireless Sensor Devices to Data Centers

Abstract

In this talk, I will take you through a quick journey in the IoT domain. I will identify the unique quality of service (QoS) needs of emerging IoT applications. I will talk about the recent advances in delay reduction and buffer management in IoT traffic and propose SADIQ system. SADIQ provides location-aware, context driven QoS for IoT applications by allowing applications to express their requirements using a location-based abstraction and a high-level SQL-like policy language, and the network to support these requirements through recent advances in SDNs. SADIQ is implemented using commodity OpenFlow-enabled switches and an open-source SDN controller and evaluate its effectiveness using traces from two real IoT applications. SADIQ system source code is made publicly available for the research community.
