Internet of Things (IoT) is a new computing facility which consists of the features from networks, devices and software and it helps to connect many devices for coordinated working (Kranz 2016). The design of IoT must take care of challenging issues with respect to interconnection and communication. The existing protocols designed for wired, wireless and sensor networks cannot be used directly for enhancing the performance of IoT based networks due to the presence of heterogeneous devices including tiny devices and larger house hold devices. There are many applications in day-to-day life that use mobile phones, laptops, sensors and house hold devices such as air conditioner, fridge, coffee maker, microwave oven and washing machines that are connected with IoT for performing many of the activities. Moreover, IoT can be used along with the vehicles using vehicular adhoc networks and they can be used for data collection routing and an amount of intelligence can be introduced in IoT for effective co-ordination and communication.
