Summary: This episode is our first about standards, and in this episode we focus on standards shared with the "I" in the Internet of Things. IoT standards start with internet and web standards Proprietary ecosystems will have an early advantage Big companies and standards: "It's complicated" "Standards are like an endlessly-layered cake" IP: "Best effort" (a.k.a. unreliable) packet delivery TCP: Reliable, ordered and error-checked delivery of info UDP: "Spray and pray" REST: A de facto standard for talking to services How toasters will talk Wireless protocols Wi-Fi Bluetooth 4G (and 3G, and 2.5G...) Home automation standards "The wiggle-waggle dance of honeybees"
