Performance testing of M2M middleware platform

Machine to Machine Communication (M2M) is an enabler of Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. One of representative implemetation of M2M middleware platform is OpenMTC based on 3gpp standard. OpenMTC is horisontal M2M Platform that connect sensors and devices to user application. It support scalability by providing gateway capability layer for connecting to sensors and devices and network capability layar for supporting user application. This platform will handle large data from hundreds to thousands of sensors and devices and send the data to the suitable application. This paper has tested OpenMTC platform performance regarding its capability to handle large data. Utility and response time are measured parameters of middleware server performance. The result shows that server utilization increases when the number of nodes is less than 30. The utilization of the server shows a constant value of 70% when the number of nodes over 30. Response time to increase in line with the increase of node number. Response time is still on target while the number of nodes is less than 30.
