Experiments with SDN-based Adaptable Non-IP Protocol Stacks in Smart-City Environments

We propose an SDN-based Non-IP multi-protocol platform (REWIRE) that mixes and matches, on-demand, multi-ple Non-IP protocol strategies with real rapidly-detected network conditions and loT data communication patterns. The REWIRE solution supports centralized monitoring of Wireless Mesh Net-works (WMN) and manages alternative Non-IP protocols stacks (i.e., NDN, DTN & NoD) in an adaptable manner based on change-point analysis & clustering mechanisms. To this end, our proposal grafts flexibility and adaptability capabilities to the WMN providing the communication backbone in real Smart-City environments. Our platform was implemented in real WMNs environments over Fed4FIRE+ test-beds considering an loT sce-nario using traffic patterns based on real sensor measurements.
