Study Notes

MQTT

MQTT is a messaging protocol used for IoT applications
MQTT uses a Message Broker to route messages
MQTT has 5 methods
Messages can be pushed to clients through an event-driven publish/subscribe system.
SMQTT is secure MQTT

CoAP

CoAP is a protocol for constrained devices that uses UDP and supports all of the following HTTP operations:
- GET
- PUT
- PUSH

AMQP

AMQP is a messaging protocol for the financial industry
AMQP uses a messaging broker and a message queue to route messages.
AMQP has a specific packet structure for data transfer
AMQP uses a message queue for messages

OSI Model

The OSI model has seven layers, not nine

IPv4

The "Destination Address" in an IPv4 packet represents the destination node address of the packet

Wireless HART

Wireless HART is a protocol used for industrial automation and is an extension of the original HART protocol, used for wired networks
Wireless HART operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band
Wireless HART uses channel hopping and channel blacklisting to improve reliability and security
Wireless HART relies on mesh networking.

ZigBee

ZigBee is a protocol used for low-power, wireless networks
ZigBee uses channel hopping

NFC

NFC is a wireless technology that allows devices to communicate in close proximity
NFC can be both active and passive
NFC is commonly used in smartphones, for mobile payments, and other applications

Bluetooth

Bluetooth uses ad-hoc piconets for communication.
Bluetooth uses a Link Manager Protocol to manage links

WSN

WSN stands for Wireless Sensor Network
Coverage in a WSN can be event driven or on-demand
WSNs can be static or mobile.
WSNs can be used to monitor a variety of physical systems.
WSNs can use various reporting mechanisms to send data to a central location for analysis.

Network Virtualization

Network virtualization allows for the abstraction of physical resources from network services.

IoT Networks

IoT networks are dynamic, which can cause load-balancing issues

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing services offer:
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
- Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
- Cloud computing is ubiquitous and independent of device or location.
