Zhihua Liu · ZTE Technology Journal · 2011
Internet of Things traffic will be an important part of IP network traffic in the future and will heavily impact the IP network.More complex and diverse Internet of Things applications will place higher requirements on all aspects of the network,including QoS,safety and reliability,controllability,and manageability.This paper analyzes the service requirements of the Internet of Things and the ability of IP networks to carry it.We suggest that carrier-classed IP networks need to be upgraded in order to satisfy large-scale Internet of Things applications in the future.
