Emerging and blooming internet of things (IOT) technology greatly affects backbone network development. The effects are not accurately tested or predicted yet. As a trial, some traffic characteristics profiling cases are investigated based on a gateway in IOT (IOTGW), a classical device, for data communication between IOT and backbone networks. From this investigation, some lessons of IOT effects on backbone networks are learnt by taking application, network size, data volume, etc. into account. To our knowledge, this study is the first trial to investigate the IOT effects on backbone networks from the traffic perspective.
