| Summary: | Different types of faults occur in different layers of IoT networks, which affect their fault tolerance. The Controller and Services layers are the weakest links in an IoT network, and any failure in these layers drastically reduces its fault tolerance. The flow of transactions in these layers is also very heavy, requiring load balancing. The major challenge is to retain the maximum Fault tolerance of the IoT network in the presence of failures and varying load conditions in these Layers. This paper proposes a combination of Embedded system networking and a specialised networking of microcontrollers with Service Servers, and a Middleware within the Microcontrollers for load-balancing transactions in different communication paths. These implementations help retain the highest fault tolerance of the IoT network. The fault tolerance of an IoT is improved by 8% due to these proposed implementations. |
