Example: IPv6
Definition: Next version of IP designed to overcome several
key limitations of IPv4

Position and Adoption Speed Justification:

By 2015, 17% of the global Internet will use IPv6
Through 2020, both the public Internet and the typical
corporate/government network will carry both IPv4 and IPv6
traffic.

Future Internet post-2020

Europe- Experts were asked to develop a set of scenarios for

the Future Internet post-2020, covering applications and
technology uses that will characterise the Future Internet
The scenario proposed by the panel shows how the Future
Internet could, and possibly will, shape the lives of all
Europeans in or around 2020-

The Future Internet infrastructure will need to be

architected differently

In the Future Internet, our personal information, content and

services will be available to us anywhere, at any time
Our everyday environments will be context-aware: systems
and devices will be able to sense how
how, where and why
information is being accessed and respond accordingly
The Internet will be our personal global network

(Future Internet 2020)

Future Internet post-2020- Internet of Things

The Future Internet will increasingly include

Things:
Embedding sensors, communication and
computing
ti capabilities
biliti will
ill enable
bl a whole
h l variety
i t
of physical objects to seamlessly gather and use
information throughout their entire lifecycle
By capturing and interpreting user actions, Smart
Items will be able to perceive and instruct their
environment, to analyse their observations and to
j
and the Internet
communicate with other objects
This new Internet of things will co-exist and be
intimately bound up with the Internet of
information and services
(Future Internet 2020)
27

Internet of Things

The expression Internet of Things (IoT) recalls scenarios

from science fiction, where objects will become living
beings and have identifiable behaviours and actions
any object will have a unique identification; not only
only, as
today, computers, printers, mobile phones, but literally any
thing around us, anywhere, at any time, creating a
universally addressable continuum
objects will be able to exchange and, if necessary, actively
process information according to predefined schemes,
which may or may not be deterministic
the Internet
Internet of Things
Things can be defined asas a
a world-wide
world wide
network of uniquely addressable and interconnected
objects, based on standard communication protocols --The Cross-ETP Vision Document 2009

Network Standards

Importance- Use of standards makes it easier to develop

software and hardware that link different networks
Help promote competition and decrease price
There are two types of standards
standards Formal-:
developed by an official industry or government
body e.g. HTTP, HTML for web browsers and V.90
modems for physical hardware
Take several years to develop
De facto (proprietary):
Emerge in the market place and are supported by
several vendors but have no official standing e.g.
MS Windows
De facto standards become formal once they are
widely accepted

29

Why use standards?

The primary reason for standards is to

Without networking standards

Enable multiple providers to integrate their products

and services at the global, national and local levels
it would be difficult -if not impossible-to develop
networks that easily share information

Customers are not locked into one vendor

they can buy hardware and software from any vendor

whose

competition resulting in more choice and decreased
price

Standards-making bodies

International standard making bodies

International Organisation for Standards (OSI)

makes technical recommendations about data
communication interfaces
International Telecommunication UnionTelecommunication Group (ITU-T) technical
standard setting organisation
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
standardisation body not standard making body,
accepts standards developed by other organisations
