- Abstract
Rapid increase in number and diversity of Internet-connected devices raises many challenges for the traditional network architecture, which is not designed to support a high level of scalability, real-time data delivery and mobility. To address these issues, in this paper we present a new model of Internet of Things architecture which combines benefits of two emerging technologies: software-defined networking and Fog computing. Software-defined networking implies a logically centralized network control plane, which allows implementation of sophisticated mechanisms for traffic control and resource management. On the other hand, Fog computing enables some data to be analysed and managed at the network edge, thus providing support for applications that require very low and predictable latency. In the paper, we give detailed insight into the system structure and functionality of its main components. We also discuss the benefits of the proposed architecture and its potential services.
