Smart object technology, sometimes called the Internet of Things, is having a profound impact on our day-to-day lives. Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP is the first book that takes a holistic approach to the revolutionary area of IP-based smart objects. Smart objects are the intersection of networked embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, ubiquitous and pervasive computing, mobile telephony and telemetry, and mobile computer networking. This book consists of three parts, Part I focuses on the architecture of smart objects networking, Part II covers the hardware, software, and protocols for smart objects, and Part III provides case studies on how and where smart objects are being used today and in the future. The book covers the fundamentals of IP communication for smart objects, IPv6, and web services, as well as several newly specified low-power IP standards such as the IETF 6LoWPAN adaptation layer and the RPL routing protocol. This book contains essential information not only for the technical reader but also for policy makers and decision makers in the area of smart objects both for private IP networks and the Internet.

Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP: The Next Internet

Shim6: Level 3 Multihoming Shim Protocol for IPv6.

This memo discusses the strategy for address assignment of the
existing 32-bit IPv4 address space with a view toward conserving the
address space and limiting the growth rate of global routing state.
This document obsoletes the original Classless Inter-domain Routing
(CIDR) spec in RFC 1519, with changes made both to clarify the
concepts it introduced and, after more than twelve years, to update
the Internet community on the results of deploying the technology
described. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices
for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.

Classless Inter-domain Routing (CIDR): The Internet Address Assignment and Aggregation Plan

Managing TCP anycast requests at content delivery network nodes is disclosed. In some embodiments, serving a request includes receiving a request at a node of a plurality of nodes comprising a content delivery network, wherein each of the plurality of nodes share a same anycast IP address to which the request is directed and servicing the request at the node.

Managing tcp anycast requests

Though appropriate for core Internet infrastructure, the Internet Protocol is unsuited to routing within and between emerging ad-hoc edge networks due to its dependence on hierarchical, administratively assigned addresses. Existing ad-hoc routing protocols address the management problem but do not scale to Internet-wide networks. The promise of ubiquitous network computing cannot be fulfilled until we develop an Unmanaged Internet Protocol (UIP), a scalable routing protocol that manages itself automatically. UIP must route within and between constantly changing edge networks potentially containing millions or billions of nodes, and must still function within edge networks disconnected from the main Internet, all without imposing the administrative burden of hierarchical address assignment. Such a protocol appears challenging but feasible. We propose an architecture based on self-certifying, cryptographic node identifies and a routing algorithm adapted from distributed hash tables.

Unmanaged Internet Protocol: taming the edge network management crisis

As the Internet has grown, and as systems and networked services
within enterprises have become more pervasive, many services with high
availability requirements have emerged. These requirements have
increased the demands on the reliability of the infrastructure on
which those services rely. Various techniques have been employed to
increase the availability of services deployed on the Internet. This
document presents commentary and recommendations for distribution of
services using anycast. This document specifies an Internet Best
Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion
and suggestions for improvements.

Operation of Anycast Services

The functionality provided by IPv6's Type 0 Routing Header can be
exploited in order to achieve traffic amplification over a remote path
for the purposes of generating denial-of-service traffic. This
document updates the IPv6 specification to deprecate the use of IPv6
Type 0 Routing Headers, in light of this security concern. [STANDARDS-
TRACK]

Deprecation of Type 0 Routing Headers in IPv6

This document outlines a set of goals for proposed new IPv6 site- multihoming architectures. It is recognised that this set of goals is ambitious and that some goals may conflict with others. The solution or solutions adopted may only be able to satisfy some of the goals presented here.

Goals for IPv6 Site-Multihoming Architectures

Multihoming is an essential component of service for many Internet
sites This document describes some implementation strategies for
multihoming with IPv4 and enumerates features for comparison with
other multihoming proposals (particularly those related to IPv6) This
memo provides information for the Internet community

IPv4 Multihoming Practices and Limitations

Some IETF protocols make use of Ethernet frame formats and IEEE 802
parameters. This document discusses several uses of such parameters in
IETF protocols, specifies IANA considerations for assignment of points
under the IANA OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier), and provides
some values for use in documentation. This document obsoletes RFC
5342.
