Introduction
The Internet protocol suite, commonly known as TCP/IP, is a framework for organizing the set of communication protocols used in the Internet and similar computer networks according to functional criteria. The foundational protocols in the suite are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and the Internet Protocol (IP).

The internet of things attempts to establish a public internet or local network for small low power devices and control equipment. While using the same lower level of internet protocols, on top of it exists a new kind of network of many small devices communicating with each other and traditional servers on the standard internet or intranet.
