This image visually represents an Internet of Things (IoT) network architecture. It highlights how IoT devices communicate either directly with the cloud via the internet or through local gateways. The “Thing to Cloud” section illustrates IPv6 communication over Bluetooth Smart to the internet via Wi-Fi. The “Thing to Thing via Gateways” section shows local device-to-device interactions, also using IPv6 technologies, without direct cloud involvement. The diagram emphasizes scalable, flexible connectivity in modern IoT systems.
