Abstract
An apparatus for addressing a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices includes storage to store instructions and a processor. The processor is to execute the stored instructions to initialize an IoT device alias addressing space, to assign an alias address to each of a plurality of the IoT devices, where the alias addresses are time-limited, and to handle packet transactions using the assigned alias addresses.
Claims31
An apparatus for addressing a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, comprising:
- storage to store instructions;
- and
- a processor to execute the stored instructions to:
- initialize an IoT device alias addressing space;
- assign an alias address to each of a plurality of the IoT devices, where the alias addresses are time-limited, and where a length of the alias addresses is based on a maximum number of IoT devices;
- and
- handle packet transactions using the assigned alias addresses.
A method of addressing a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, comprising:
- initializing an IoT device alias addressing space;
- assigning an alias address to each of a plurality of the IoT devices, where the alias addresses are time-limited, and where a length of the alias addresses is based on a maximum number of IoT devices;
- and
- handling packet transactions using the assigned alias addresses.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, direct a processor to:
- initialize an IoT device alias addressing space;
- assign an alias address to each of a plurality of the IoT devices, where the alias addresses are time-limited, and where a length of the alias addresses is based on a maximum number of IoT devices;
- and
- handle packet transactions using the assigned alias addresses.
An Internet of Things (IoT) network, comprising:
- a fog network;
- an edge network;
- and
- an apparatus for addressing a plurality of IoT devices, comprising:
- storage to store instructions;
- and
- a processor to execute the stored instructions to:
- initialize an IoT device alias addressing space;
- assign an alias address to each of the plurality of IoT devices, where the alias addresses are time-limited, and where a length of the alias addresses is based on a maximum number of IoT devices;
- and
- handle packet transactions using the assigned alias addresses.
