“…It was originally developed by Bob Metcalfe at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 1973 and initially supported by thick copper coaxial-type cables. It is commonly used in connecting devices within local area networks and provides communication of up to 100 m. Its modulation technique is based on Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) and supports both bus and star topologies [128]. It translates datagrams from the top network layer into frames for transmission across wireline networks.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a global network of interconnected computing, sensing, and networking devices that can exchange data and information via various network protocols. It can connect numerous smart devices thanks to recent advances in wired, wireless, and hybrid technologies. Lightweight IoT protocols can compensate for IoT devices with restricted hardware characteristics in terms of storage, Central Processing Unit (CPU), energy, etc. Hence, it is critical to identify the optimal communication protocol for system architects. This necessitates an evaluation of next-generation networks with improved characteristics for connectivity. This paper highlights significant wireless and wired IoT technologies and their applications, offering a new categorization for conventional IoT network protocols. It provides an in-depth analysis of IoT communication protocols with detailed technical information about their stacks, limitations, and applications. The study further compares industrial IoT-compliant devices and software simulation tools. Finally, the study provides a summary of the current challenges, along with a broad overview of the future directions to tackle the challenges, in the next IoT generation. This study aims to provide a comprehensive primer on IoT concepts, protocols, and future insights that academics and professionals can use in various contexts.

Maintaining a fast, low-latency network must be balanced in the demanding world of High-Performance Computing (HPC). Any compromise in network performance can severely affect distributed HPC applications, leading to bottlenecks that undermine the entire system’s efficiency. This paper highlights the critical need for precise and consistent evaluation of Kubernetes Container Network Interfaces (CNIs) to ensure that HPC workloads can operate at their full potential. Traditional manual methods for evaluating network bandwidth and latency are time-consuming and prone to errors, making them inadequate for the rigorous demands of HPC environments. To address this, we introduce a novel approach that leverages Ansible to automate and standardize the evaluation process across diverse CNIs, performance profiles, and configurations. By eliminating human error and ensuring replicability, this method significantly enhances the reliability of performance assessments. The Ansible playbooks we developed enable the efficient deployment, configuration, and execution of CNIs and evaluations, providing a robust framework for ensuring that Kubernetes-based infrastructures can meet the stringent performance requirements of HPC applications. This approach is vital for safeguarding the performance integrity of HPC workloads, ensuring that inadequate network configurations do not cripple them.
