Abstract

This article addresses a triple transition related to the emergence of the Internet of Things, IPv6 and cloud applications. It presents the potential use of IPv6 and CoAP to enable a global and scalable interconnection of the Internet of Things (IoT) together with the cloud, focusing on Software as a Service (SaaS). It presents a potential use of IPv6 addressing scheme, taking into account the scalability requirements of both the IoT and the cloud. It also presents some experimental implementations of IoT-SaaS integration, based on IPv6 and CoAP, and performed in the frame of the IoT6 European Research project.
