I know this is certainly not the only thing…but it is one of the most challenging aspects we like to address with networking…

  Internet of Every(thing)s – Confusing for sure.   IoT. IoE. Same thing some say. Only different. Too much for any one show really, but we did our best. Internet of Things (IoT) is difficult to define as it represents multiple protocols and so many different ideas. We will all cont…
