ABSTRACT
As network size continues to grow exponentially, there has been a proportionate increase in the number of nodes
in the corresponding network. With the advent of Internet of things (IOT), it is assumed that many more devices
will be connected to the existing network infrastructure. As a result, monitoring is expected to get more complex
for administrators as networks tend to become more heterogeneous. Moreover, the addressing for IOTs would be
more complex given the scale at which devices will be added to the network and hence monitoring is bound to
become an uphill task due to management of larger range of addresses. This paper will throw light on what kind
of monitoring mechanisms can be deployed in internet of things (IOTs) and their overall effectiveness.
