Issues to Consider
Its not ALL magic!

There are two courses of dealing with IoT or IoE
Do something
Requires systemic feedback
Requires communications
Machine to Humans
Machine to machines
Requires policy environment for proper response
Human procedures and protocol
Machine to machine policies
Ingest and Analyze
Requires massive storage Big Data
Requires analytic processes
Data Science and analytics staff
Parallel Processing Hadoop HDFS

Business Process Evented
Conference Room Launched
Dynamic Team Created
Video Escalation Leveraged
Team Members Notified
Collaboration is Optimized
Automated Manufacturing Machine Malfunctions
Doing something
Need vector

Analyzing the data
Things to consider
The data influx can be massive!
Proper storage sizing is key!
5 to 10 times traditional EDW
Analytics infrastructure and staff
Proper data/compute node scaling
Intense analytics? Simple trending?
Subject matter experts People that KNOW the data!
Determine needs up front
Real Time based on data stream Storm/Spark
Near Real Time based on atomic batch Spark
Non Real Time batch Normal Hadoop
Data Center Design
Massive east/west capacity
Low deterministic latency rack to rack
Security for protecting confidential data

IP Address explosion!
Sensors and actuators require addresses
IPv6 is a huge address space
Sensors do not have resources to hold such huge addresses
Address gateways/ IPv6 address concatenation
We can not afford to waste IP space on transit routes!!!
Non-IP path establishment technologies
IEEE 802.1aq/IETF RFC6329 Shortest Path Bridging
Avaya Fabric Connect IETF Draft enhancements for L3 and multicast
There are also implicit security concerns in using IP as a path
protocol
IP Scanning
Infrastructure Attack
Confidential Data Breach
If we can remove the dependency on IP to establish service
paths EVERYTHING becomes much EASIER!
BGP Tables are being overrun.
IPv6 is exacerbating the issue!

Security impact What makes this so difficult?
Traditional networking approaches utilize IP as a utility
protocol to establish service paths
These paths are prone to IP scanning techniques that
are used to:
Discover network topology
Identify key attack vectors
Using traditional approaches for privacy and separation
are costly and complex
Inadvertent Routed Black Holes
Poor resiliency
High Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure
(OPEX)
Using IP as the utility for establishing paths means that they
have to be visible. This creates a Catch-22 which in turn
creates complexity and cost

Avayas Fabric Connect is truly Stealthy!
Fabric Connect is not dependent upon IP to establish
the service path
Service Paths are established by the use of SPB
Ethernet Switched Paths within Fabric Connect
As a result, path behaviors are established on a
completely different plane
ESPs are invisible to IP

In Summary
The Internet of Things and the Internet of Everything are inevitable paths of
evolution for the Internet
Many of the basic concepts of networking do not change
Most of the issues are in design for reachability and scale to the infrastructure
Scale up Scale out
Use of the system and/or data generated will require back-end infrastructure
solutions
Enhanced automated UC for machine to human communications
Enhanced systems automation for machine to machine communications
Enhanced Data Analytics environment to utilize data
Security and IP addressing need to be considered up front!
End point Classification
Authentication
Authorization
Non IP based path establishment technologies provide for the consolidation and
condensation of the IP address space.
IEEE 802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging
Enhanced Services via Avaya Fabric Connect provide for Stealth
Networking environments
