Internet of things is not merely connecting few LED,s , temp controller with any board Now a days some people give training on the name of IOT. and teach the students only basics of embedded system Will it be the training on IOT? Kindly comment
There is a consensus that IPv6 will be the network layer protocol fro IoT. However, there are also researchers (like me) that contend for new stacks for IoT. Yes, there is training on IoT. My faculty has a post-graduation on IoT in Brazil.
With the advancement of IPv6 IOT will be the near future?
Agreed with the above statement. Because IPv6 address space is 128-bits (2128) in size, containing 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 IPv6 addresses. This is significant increase from IPv4 which only contains 4,294,967,296 or 4.3 billion IPv4 addresses (IPv6 is 7.9×1028 times as many as IPv4 addresses).
According to Gartner, only 6.4 billion connected "Things" of IoT will be used in 2016 whereby there is still plenty of IPv6 addresses to be used up for IoT purpose.
Yes, there are many IoT training offered by academic institutions as well as software & hardware products companies. E.g., you can refer to the following YouTube link:

Of course, there is already plenty of IoT going on, even with IPv4. The address space limitations in IPv4 are severe, but work-arounds have been developed, such as network address and port translation gateways (NAPTs). So we are certainly not limited to just 4 billion devices, with the 32-birt addresses of IPv4. To me, IoT is "more of the same," in the sense that the Internet, from its very inception, has been about connecting "things." Just more and more, as the years go by. Nothing drastic has changed. Evolution.
As a matter of fact, the original devices connected to the Internet were mainframe computers. Things. Not so much people. People had accounts on those mainframes. So IoT addresses more device to device communications, such as already occur in factories, power plants, the electric grid, vehicles, and so on. Devices intercommunicating, with often only monitoring and (potential for) override, by humans.
Now, in the latest IEEE Communications magazine, I see articles talking about "people-centric IoT," which sounds very ironic to me. Have we gone full circle more than once?
Thanks All,
Actually I think with the Advancement in IPV6 we move forward one step in implementing IOT. Complete IOT would be only possible when the sensor technology will become affordable .
I reckon we need to understand the evolution of the IoT. It started with isolated networks of RFIDs and other constrained sensor devices, then evolved to 6LowPAN based interconnected devices, and now it is in third phase where these devices are offering there capabilities as RESTful services. The future is more towards cognitive and social Internet of Things. The students should be aware of this evolution and should do hands on web of things experiments.
