Abstract

The paper shows how the Internet has moved to a radical expansion with the Internet of Things (IoT) with everything being connected up to a scale of aggregate capacity and complexity. It could evolve into a network where not only each node could be a computational device but by itself would also be an intelligent computing device that could replace human supervision and control as through Artificial Intelligence (AI). The Internet of Things (IoT) as being embedded in the ‘Industrial Internet’ (IIoT) is a new paradigm shift that comprehensively affects computers and networking technology. In German industry and beyond this is referred to as ‘Industry 4.0’. This technology is going to increase utilization and diversified connectivity followed by Bandwidth of the Internet. More and more (intelligent) devices in this network are connected to the Internet through various combinations of sensor networks.
