ABSTRACT
The IoT environment surfaces challenging requirements for service discovery, such as: services heterogeneity, mobility, scalability, security, QoS support and context management. Different protocols have been proposed to facilitate service discovery, but it is difficult to assess how well these protocols meet the IoT requirements. This paper presents an evaluation of commonly used service discovery protocols for the IoT, CoAP-SD, DNS-SD, mDNS-SD, and DDS-SD, performed against both qualitative and quantitative metrics, on a physical experimental setup. The results show the limitations and strengths of the protocols, and future research directions are discussed.
