[Audio] The Business Case for IP Using IP as the network layer in IoT applications can help companies save money and increase efficiency by using existing infrastructure and tools. These lightweight applications communicate with the data center servers. Therefore, the system solutions combining various physical and data link layers call for an architectural approach with a common layer(s) independent from the lower (connectivity) and/or upper (application) layers. This is how and why the Internet Protocol (IP) suite started playing a key architectural role in the early 1990s. IP was not only preferred in the IT markets but also for the OT environment..

[Audio] The Key Advantages of Internet Protocol Open and standards-based: Operational technologies have often been delivered as turnkey features by vendors who may have optimized the communications through closed and proprietary networking solutions. The Internet of Things creates a new paradigm in which devices, applications, and users can leverage a large set of devices and functionalities while guaranteeing interchangeability and interoperability, ■ Versatile: A large spectrum of access technologies is available to offer connectivity of "things" in the last mile. Additional protocols and technologies are also used to transport IoT data through backhaul links and in the data center. ■ Ubiquitous: All recent operating system releases, from general-purpose computers and servers to lightweight embedded systems (TinyOS, Contiki, and so on), have an integrated dual (IPv4 and IPv6) IP stack that gets enhanced over time. ■ Scalable: As the common protocol of the Internet, IP has been massively deployed and tested for robust scalability. Millions of private and public IP infrastructure nodes have been operational for years, offering strong foundations for those not familiar wit IP network management.. ■ Stable and resilient: IP has been around for 30 years, and it is clear that IP is a workable solution. IP has a large and well-established knowledge base and, more importantly, it has been used for years in critical infrastructures, such as financial and defense networks..
