With the swift progress of IoT in every dimension in the industry, the associated problems also diversified into the respective domains. To simplify problems, industry leaders took the most intuitive step by defining logical segregations in the IoT domain. Today, there is a plethora of articles and papers published over the Internet, which cite different names and classifications for IoT. As of now, we don't have any universally accepted classification for IoT, but we do see different names such as Consumer IoT, Industrial IoT, Healthcare IoT, and so on.
