Abstract:
IoT (Internet of Things) applications are deployed in China with strong market requirements. To research the key technologies for future large scale IoT deployment, especially the impacts of IoT traffic to traditional IP network and Data Center, in this paper, we analyzed IoT traffic patterns and verified them through evaluation. IoT traffic patterns with layered system architecture and parameters affecting traffic are discussed. The evaluation results show: traffic surge generated by synchronous IoT application traffic cause network congestion for network and outage of Data Center resources. The transport protocols and data encapsulation format affect the application performance. These potential problems should be further research on.
