Abstract

Devices and methods for internet of things (IOT) discovery/auto discovery are described. A discovery packet is received from a device. The discovery packet includes a first stream identifier and a request to establish a second stream. A stream acceptance packet is sent to the device. The stream acceptance packet includes the first stream identifier and an input for generating a second stream identifier. A first association is added to the registration based on the request to establish the second stream. The first association is between the second stream identifier and a determined destination. A first data packet is received from the device, where the first data packet includes/utilizes the second stream identifier. The first data packet is sent to the destination based on the first association in the registration.

Claims (42)

1. A method for internet of things (IOT) discovery:

receiving a discovery packet from a device, wherein the discovery packet comprises a first stream identifier and a request to establish a second stream;

identifying a registration associated with the device in a routing table, wherein the registration is identified based on the first stream identifier;

determining a destination for the second stream based on the request to establish the second stream;

sending a stream acceptance packet to the device, wherein the stream acceptance packet comprises the first stream identifier and an input for generating a second stream identifier;

adding a first association to the registration based on the request to establish the second stream, wherein the first association is between the second stream identifier and the destination;

receiving a first data packet from the device, wherein the first data packet comprises the second stream identifier; and

sending the first data packet to the destination based on the first association in the registration.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether the registration exists in the routing table.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

disregarding the discovery packet when the registration is absent from the routing table.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

processing the discovery request when the registration exists in the routing table; and

accepting the request to establish the second stream when the registration exists in the routing table.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input initiates a key establishment procedure with the device.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the key establishment procedure is a Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein at least a portion of the second stream identifier is a secure key established via the key establishment procedure.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first data packet is cryptographically secured based on the second stream identifier.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first stream identifier is associated with a device identifier.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the device identifier is a globally unique identifier (GUID).

11. A device for internet of things (IOT) discovery, comprising:

a processor;

memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:

receive a discovery packet from a device, wherein the discovery packet comprises a first stream identifier and a request to establish a second stream;

identify a registration associated with the device in a routing table, wherein the registration is identified based on the first stream identifier;

determine a destination for the second stream based on the request to establish the second stream;

send a stream acceptance packet to the device, wherein the stream acceptance packet comprises the first stream identifier and an input for generating a second stream identifier;

add a first association to the registration based on the request to establish the second stream, wherein the first association is between the second stream identifier and the destination;

receive a first data packet from the device, wherein the first data packet comprises the second stream identifier; and

send the first data packet to the destination based on the first association in the registration.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to determine whether the registration exists in the routing table.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to disregard the discovery packet when the registration is absent from the routing table.

14. The device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

process the discovery request when the registration exists in the routing table; and

accept the request to establish the second stream when the registration exists in the routing table.

15. The device of claim 11 , wherein the input initiates a key establishment procedure with the destination.

16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the key establishment procedure is a Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

17. The device of claim 15 , wherein at least a portion of the second stream identifier is a secure key established via the key establishment procedure.

18. The device of claim 17 , wherein the first data packet is cryptographically secured based on the second stream identifier.

19. The device of claim 11 , wherein the first stream identifier is associated with a device identifier.

20. The device of claim 19 , wherein the device identifier is a globally unique identifier (GUID).
