Abstract

With the proliferation of wireless networking, computer miniaturization, incorporation of computing technologies into every object, and the emergence of Internet connectivity everywhere, Internet-of-Things (IoT) has become the world’s most influential framework. IoT like all other network-based paradigms, deals with communication. Besides the expansion of connectivity and growth in the count of connected devices, there is an increased requirement of efficient and better solutions to connect them, make them communicate without a fail. To accomplish this communication, there are a number of well-defined and standardized set of rules, known as protocols. Various researchers have defined different layers in an IoT System. Each layer has one or the other protocol. In each layer, one can find a number of protocols, forming a protocol family for a specific layer. These protocols are discussed in sequence corresponding to the different layers. The technical aspects like expenses in terms of size and speed, and suitability to the application domain is elaborated in detail. Some of the majorly discussed protocols are 6LowPAN, IPv6, RPL, Wifi, Bluetooth, mDNS, DNS-SD, MQTT, CoAP, AMQP, Websocket, OMA-DM. This paper also offers the wide-ranging and most inclusive features of above-mentioned renowned protocols available in the market, with a proper comparison among them.
