LINK LAYER PROTOCOLS
‣ 802.3 - Ethernet
‣ 802.11 - wifi
‣ 802.16 - WiMax
‣ 802.15.4 - Low Rate WPAN
‣ 2G/3G/4G - Mobile Communication
TSP
NETWORK LAYER PROTOCOLS
‣ IPv4
‣ Exhausted in 2011
‣ 32bit address
‣ IPv6
‣ 128 bit addresses
‣ 6LoWPAN
‣ Limited processing capability
‣ Shows compression mechanism with IPv6 over 802.15.4
TSP
TRANSPORT LAYER PROTOCOL
‣ TCP
‣ UDP
TSP
APPLICATION LAYER PROTOCOL
‣ HTTP
‣ CoAP
‣ WebSocket
‣ MQTT
‣ XMPP
‣ DDS
‣ AMQP
TSP
HTTP
▸ Hyper text transfer protocol
▸ GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, HEAD,
TRACE, OPTIONS, etc commands
▸ Stateless (each request is different
of others)
▸ HTTP client can be a browser or
application running on the client
▸ Multiple headers (MIME)
TSP
COAP
▸ Constrained Application Protocol
▸ For Machine to Machine M2M
▸ Request response model
▸ Runs on UDP instead of TCP
▸ GET , PUT, POST, DELETE, etc.
TSP
WEBSOCKET
▸ Full Duplex communication over
single socket connection for
sending messages between client
and server
▸ Its based on TCP
▸ Client can be a browser, IoT Device
or a mobile application
TSP
MQTT
▸ Message Queue Telemetry
Transport
▸ Its based on publish subscribe
model
▸ Use of MQTT broker (as a Server )
▸ Useful for places where memory
and resources constraints are
limited
TSP
XMPP
▸ Extensible Messaging and Presence
protocol
▸ Real time communication and
streaming xml data between network
elements
▸ Suitable for Voice/Video chats,
messaging, data syndication,
gaming, multi party chat
▸ Its based on client server architecture
as well as server - server architecture
TSP
DDS
▸ Data Distribution service
▸ Its a middleware for D2D or M2M
▸ Publish subscribe model
▸ Provides QoS and configurable
reliability
TSP
AMQP
▸ Advanced message queuing
protocol
▸ Its for business messaging
▸ Supports point to point and
publish subscribe, routing/queuing
▸ Uses AMQP brokers
▸ Messages are pushed by the
brokers or pulled by the
consumers.

REST COMMUNICATION APIS
‣ Design web services and web APIs focuses on resources and how they are addressed and
transferred.
‣ Client Server Concerns
‣ Client not bother about the storage at the server
‣ Server not bother about the user interface at the client
‣ Stateless
‣ State lies at the client
‣ Cache-able
‣ Layered system
‣ Uniform interface
‣ Code on demand
http
method
Resource type action Example
GET Collection URI
List all the rescuers
in a collection
http://example.com/api/tasks (list all
tasks)
GET Collection URI
Get info about a
resource
http://example.com/api/tasks (get info on
task 1)
POST Collection URI
Create a new
resource
http://example.com/api/tasks (create a
new task from the data provided in the
req)
POST Collection URI Generally not used
PUT Collection URI
Replace the entire
collection with
another collection
http://example.com/api/tasks (replace
entire collection with data provided in the
request)
PUT Collection URI Update a resource http://example.com/api/tasks (delete all
tasks)
DELETE Collection URI Delete the entire
collection
http://example.com/api/tasks (lista ll
tasks)
DELETE Collection URI Delete a resource http://example.com/api/tasks (del task 1)
