Representative sample of industry protocols

To show the challenge we’re facing with integrating the Web of things with existing protocols, here is a representative sample of industry protocols from a report from Aruba Networks (Connect and protect: Building a trust-based Internet of things for business critical applications).

See: www.arubanetworks.com/assets/wp/WP_ConnectProtectIoT.pdf

The shear number of such protocols suggests that we need to look for a scalable approach to working on protocol bindings where the work is largely done by other organisations. Picking them off one by one for the IG plugfests isn’t going to get us there, although we will learn a lot on the way.
