Abstract
IoT is inherently associated with data networking as it relies on the Internet as the primary mechanism for communication. Traditional Internet networking, however, falls short in providing solid instruments for interaction between constrained devices and applications. This chapter deals with networking concepts from an IoT perspective. Specifically, it describes the types of networks as well as their main components including their limitations and differences with mainstream mechanisms. Moreover, the chapter addresses the main challenges and requirements of IoT network security. It also focuses on WSNs that, predating IoT, provide solutions to many of the problems IoT networks face. To this end, the chapter presents the main characteristics of the WSNs and how they differ from conventional IoT solutions.
