Title: "Where is the Ethernet port? From the IoT laboratory to the real world"

Abstract: From the authors of "Why do not all things have an Ethernet port?" and, "why radio frequency has noise?" now comes the acclaimed "Why are not 10 meters of laboratory equal to 10 meters of street?" and its second part: "when the network topology is the enemy". Managing the gap between the technological laboratory model and the real world is the most important challenge for success in the implementation of IoT projects.
