Re: IoT - The end of the internet

Unless you are running in a very slow and resource constrained piece of hardware, most of the latency comes from the 
link layer, not from the protocol stack.

If your concern is delay and disruption, check out DTN (Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking,) and Bundle Protocol, we 
have a WG in IETF working on it.

Initial motivation was inter planetary communications, but the technology is also being used for terrestrial 
applications such as IoT.

Hi NANOG;

I appreciate all the thoughtful replies and I apologize for vague posting when I should be sleeping.

Let me paint a little more context and hopefully this will help inform the conversation.

Use Case 1:  Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality.  It is stated that round trip latency must be <4ms with 100mbit full 
duplex at the cell edge to prevent nausea and dizziness while wearing goggles for a long term.  

Use Case 2:  A little closer to “IoT”. An autonomous vehicle under remote control requires 100 feet to stop with LTE 
vs 20 feet with 5G.  

Use Case 3:  A Lidar near-miss sensor at an intersection requires 1ms from the traffic operations center.

I hypothesize that there is a ‘breaking point’ between safety, health, and latency and traditional IP.  

Will tomorrow’s applications require a re-thinking of “The Internet” and protocols that are low latency compliant?  
Will we be building an infinite number of mobile edge compute boxes?  

If there’s an academic study describing this potential issue it would help kickstart some interesting research.

Best,
Christopher

It's not devices. It's software and what's worse protocol specifications that are implemented in this software.

And we still didn't get the memo in 2022. Some colleagues think that having builtin 5x Amplification in protocols 
freshly out just this year "is OK".

Hi folks,

Has anyone proposed that the adoption of billions of IoT devices will ultimately ‘break’ the Internet?  

It’s not a rhetorical question I promise, just looking for a journal or other scholarly article that implies that 
the Internet is doomed.

In so much as IoT devices are ipv4 udp amplifiers
