Table 5

Open networking challenges in IoT domain.

loT Open Networking Challenges	Features
Security	(i) Data confidentiality; (ii) Identity management privacy; (iii) Authentication; (iv) Trusted platforms; (v) Access control; (vi) Encryption
Interopabilty	(i) Need of standardization; (ii) Design of predefined specifications of the components; (iii) Cross-layer interopability needed; (iv) Easy integration with the existing Internet; (v) 1Pv6 addressing leading the way
Indetification	(i) Creation of an efficient naming and identity management system
Scalability	(i) Creation of a scalability management protocol for supporting a larger number of smart objects
Big Data	(i) Performance is directly proportional to the properties of the data management service; (ii) Data integrity feature should be taken into account
Mobility	(i) VANETs and MANETs should be free of energy and processing constraints; (ii) Movement detection needed
Energy Management	(i) Not yet satisfying; (ii) Need of green technologies for energy efficient devices
