What are the implications of the Internet of Things (IoT) on the global internet, from architectural, interoperability, and security perspectives? Is the end-to-end principle of the global internet still relevant? What can the communities represented at the IETF do to address these implications? In this lunchtime panel during IETF 97, panelists will discuss how the IoT interacts with, and potentially challenges, a global, open internet. We will explore how the internet shapes the design of smart objects, and how they in turn will shape the architecture of the internet. Are there general guidelines with respect to security and overall behavior for these new devices? What should designers of smart object architectures take into account because of the interaction between devices and the internet? Join moderator Olaf Kolkman and a panel of experts as we discuss these questions and many more about key challenges related to the continued growth of IoT while maintaining a secure and open global Internet.

• This is not the IETF: Session is organized by the Internet Society
• To inform our and your thinking we want to get your perspectives
• The session does not automatically inform the IETF
• Hard stop at 13:15. Please dispose of garbage and leave your spot in
proper order. A working group needs to be able to start at 13:30 sharp.
• Video and audio of this session is recorded and broadcasted.

The Open Internet through the Internet
Invariants lens:
• Global Reach and General Purpose
• Accessibility and Permission less
Innovation
• Interoperability, mutual agreement,
and collaboration
• Reusable building blocks
• No permanentfavorites

5. Today’s Panel…
Does IOT significantly change the Open Internet, or is it just more of the same?
What are the implications of autonomous, always-on,
connected, and often constrained devices on the global
internet the perspective of the Internet Invariants.
Perhaps less so on the security specifics of recent attacks.

8. What is the "I" in IoT
Impact of Connected Things
on the Internet
Michael J. Koster

9. What is "IoT"
• Things connected to software using networks
• This inverts many of the relationships we are used to
• Things are the servers, the data authority, where data are
produced and consumed
• Things are hyperlocal and personal

10. Confidence
• Confidence comes from demonstrated integrity
• Integrity requires clear data ownership and policy control
• My thing should no stop working when a website is shut down
or a TOU changes

11. Inversion of Scale
• We have optimized the deployment of the
internet around massive websites
• Connected things will not derive much benefit
from massive websites
• Connected things will drive scale at the edge
• Software executing at the edge and in the user
context will add much more value
• Massive websites are vulnerable to data
breaches and DDOS attacks (See Confidence)

26. UNH-IOL Testing & Interop Perspective
• Companies deploying IoT Solutions may not be in the business of networking and they need education
and guidance.
• Increase confidence by providing multi-vendor environments for connectivity and interoperability testing
• Currently a lot of interestfor home network environmentsincludingGPON,DSL,DOCSIS etc.
• IPv6 Forum Logo Program: One way to increase user confidence is to develop a recognizable and
trusted test program that verifies protocol implementation and validates interoperability as per IPv6
standards
● IoT: Utilizing the Core “Must” Test Cases with the addition of
Privacy Addressing,DHCP and DNS.
● Add Security RFCs like DTLS,LightweightIKEv2,SCEP
● Future Logos:6LoWPAN/6TiSCH
