Smart Object discovery protocol Clause Samples

Smart Object discovery protocol. The Smart Object discovery protocol is located at the sensor and actuator level and is responsible for managing the Service Discovery for its own applications from the sensors/actuators in the client role of the discovery platform. The Smart Object discovery protocol is also responsible for replying to the queries from the Local Resource Directory. Therefore, this presents a double role as client and sensor-level server, commonly called announcer. In the case of legacy technologies such as BACnet or any other kind of sensor not receiving this Sensor-level intelligence, this functionality is delegated to the gateway, router or panel, i.e. managed directly in the Local Resource Directory. The most extended protocols for this purpose are DNS/mDNS/xmDNS and CoAP Resource Discovery and were described in Section 3.
