Abstract: |
Since the appearance of the Internet of Things concept the research community has been focused on how to allow an efficient communication and data analysis of millions of devices connected to Internet. However, the current efforts have not enough in order to cover the IoT requirements and challenges. In recent years, technologies like SDN, NFV, edge computing, among others, have been pushing not only traditional networks but also the IoT environments. One of the main concerns is to ensure the quality of the services provided by IoT devices, for its purpose the decouple of data and control plane, the virtualization of network functions, advanced data analysis capacity and the ability to share and put closer the services are considered promising characteristics for this kind of environment.This paper presents an architecture that integrates SDN and NFV focused on IoT environments and a proof of concept to enhance the quality of services. The experiment takes advantage of the controller capabilities in order to modify QoE/QoS flows in real time by means the configuration of SDN-App. |
