Testbed for evaluating reference models of Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

This work presents the results of implementing a testbed for evaluating reference models of Internet of Things. There state-of-the-art platforms were tested: an open hardware platform, a commercial platform and a third one based on IPv6 architecture. According to these platforms three prototypes were developed based on the layers of the reference model of IoT, including the device layer, network, service and application layer. The main purpose was to show the remote management of devices through the concept of IoT performing monitoring and control tasks. In addition, we present an analysis of the architecture and performance comparison of the models in terms of the ease of deployment, device availability, network throughput, scalability and mobility.
