Low-Latency Processing of IoT Information in the IoT Platform Named “C-NAT”

Abstract

It seems to be reasonable that various IoT services are deployed over the IoT platforms with commonalities for these services. One of these platforms is CCN with Network Initiative And Traffic Control (C-NAT) which has been proposed by the authors. C-NAT intends to be operated over the Internet. However, this operation causes to increase in the processing delay at interworking points by multiple buffer copies. As the first step to solve this problem, this paper proposes that C-NAT is operated over the data link layer to reduce the processing delay. It indicates the advantages of this proposal by queuing analysis. It also describes operational sequences in this proposal.
