Procedure for identifying services in a network with Internet-of-Things sensors/actors

摘要

A procedure for identifying network services (210 - 230) in a network (300) with at least one Internet-of-Things network participant, in particular Internet-of-Things sensors/actuators (100) based on Domain Name System Discovery DNS-SD via a multicast Domain Name System mDNS is provided. A Domain Name System Service Discovery DNS-SD compliant request (1) after a network service type (11) is sent by an Internet-of-Things network participant (100, 210, 220, 230) to a network (300) with at least one host providing network services. At least one Domain Name System Service Discovery DNS-SD compliant response (2,3) is received by one of the hosts (210 - 230) upon request (1). The response (2, 3) has a text field with a network service identifier (12). A connection request (4) is sent by the Internet-of-Things network participant (100) to the host (210 - 230) to which the network service identifier (12) is assigned and which provides the desired network service.
