One must free his or her thinking from personal experiences and concepts of the networking of computers, smartphones (and, by definition, human users) to address the much simpler needs of the myriad devices at the edge of the IoT.

The IoT architecture requires a much more organic approach compared with traditional networking because it represents an extreme frontier in communications. The scope and breadth of the devices to be connected are huge, and the connections to the edges of the network where these devices will be arrayed will be “low fidelity”: low-speed, lossy (where attenuation and interference may cause lost but generally insignificant data, as depicted in Figure 1-1), and intermittent
