Routers and gateway play an integral role in IoT development. The functionality provided by an edge router allows for enterprise-level of security, routing, resiliency, and quality of service. The gateway plays an important role in translating non-IP networks into the IP-based protocols necessary for internet and cloud connectivity. It is also important to realize that the growth of IoT to billions of nodes will take shape with low cost and constrained electronics. Features such as enterprise routing, tunneling, and VPNs require significant hardware and processing capabilities, and it makes sense to use routers and gateways for that service function. Later in this book, we will also look at how edge routers play a vital role in edge processing and fog computing.

Overview of this book
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the fastest growing technology market. Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being.
We’ll begin our journey with an introduction to Raspberry Pi and quickly jump right into Python programming. We’ll learn all concepts through multiple projects, and then reinforce our learnings by creating an IoT robot car. We’ll examine modern sensor systems and focus on what their power and functionality can bring to our system. We’ll also gain insight into cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. The Learning Path will conclude by discussing three forms of prevalent attacks and ways to improve the security of our IoT infrastructure.
By the end of this Learning Path, we will have traversed the entire spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, and will have the confidence to build, secure, and monitor our IoT infrastructure.
This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products:
