IPv6-based IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a self-configuring and adaptive system consisting of networks of sensors and smart objects whose purpose is to interconnect “all” things, including everyday and industrial objects, in such a way as to make them intelligent, programmable and more capable of interacting with humans.

The importance of IP addresses as an enabler in the Internet of Things (IoT) is considerable. IPv6 enables about a trillion, trillion, trillion IP addresses whereas IPv4, which has provided about 4.3 billion addresses is largely exhausted. Scalability, better security, performance factors for the particulars of IoT applications, and hockey stick adoption are just some of the benefits of IPv6, but there are hurdles.

In this webinar, presented by IEEE IoT Expert Latif Ladid, attendees will learn the role IPv6 will play in the global IoT and why it is worthwhile to understand its benefits and challenges.
