A Distributed and Flexible Architecture for Internet of Things

The great breakthrough in technological devices has lead to the migration of actual Internet to the Internet of Things. There are merely trillions of smart dynamic objects that will be connected to the Internet and that interact and collaborate together independently from any physical location. This progress necessitates the proposal of an adequate architecture and routing process. In this paper, we propose a novel design and overlay architecture that fulfills the Internet of Things requirements. This approach is mainly based on Distributed Hash Table protocols to afford the required flexiblity and to handle efficiently mobility and churn cases. We present also a formal study that proves the efficiency of our proposed architecture.
