Building the Internet of Things with IPv6 and MIPv6

"If we had computers that knew everything there was to know
about things--using data they gathered without any help from
us--we would be able to track and count everything, and greatly
reduce waste, loss, and cost. We would know when things needed
replacing, repairing or recalling, and whether they were fresh or
past their best. The Internet of Things has the potential to change
the world, just as the Internet did. Maybe even more so."

--Kevin Ashton, originator of the term, Internet of Things

An examination of the concept and unimagined potential
unleashed by the Internet of Things (IoT) with IPv6 and
MIPv6

What is the Internet of Things? How can it help my organization?
What is the cost of deploying such a system? What are the security
implications? Building the Internet of Things with IPv6 and
MIPv6: The Evolving World of M2M Communications answers these
questions and many more.

This essential book explains the concept and potential that the
IoT presents, from mobile applications that allow home appliances
to be programmed remotely, to solutions in manufacturing and energy
conservation. It features a tutorial for implementing the IoT using
IPv6 and Mobile IPv6 and offers complete chapter coverage that
explains:

• What is the Internet of Things?

• Internet of Things definitions and frameworks

• Internet of Things application examples

• Fundamental IoT mechanisms and key technologies

• Evolving IoT standards

• Layer 1/2 connectivity: wireless technologies for the IoT

• Layer 3 connectivity: IPv6 technologies for the IoT

• IPv6 over low power WPAN (6lowpan)

Easily accessible, applicable, and not overly technical,
Building the Internet of Things with IPv6 and MIPv6 is an
important resource for Internet and ISP providers,
telecommunications companies, wireless providers, logistics
professionals, and engineers in equipment development, as well as
graduate students in computer science and computer engineering
courses.
