scope:

This document describes the general characteristics of Networking of Everything (NoE), which can be applied to Future Networks, especially from an Internet of Things (IoT) perspective. This document specifies:

- a conceptual model of NoE and its definition;

- problem statements in conventional networking;

- standardization activities of other standards-development organizations;

- requirements for NoE from an IoT perspective;

- technical aspects.

NOTE Since networking issues are an integral part of IoT and Future Networks, while standards of IoT or Future Networks are under development in other standards-development organizations, this document focuses on networking issues to integrate diverse networking techniques to provide users' service and/or things requirement.
