  • Publication number: 20180234266
    Abstract: Systems and methods for classifying Internet-of-Things (IoT) gateways. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: receive metadata from a plurality of IoT gateways in an IoT network, wherein the metadata from each given IoT gateway describes hardware attributes of that given IoT gateway and hardware attributes of one or more IoT devices coupled that given IoT gateway; perform principal component analysis upon the metadata; and classify each of the plurality of IoT gateways based, at least in part, upon the principal component analysis.

  • Publication number: 20180234326
    Abstract: Systems and methods for device identity augmentation. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: receive high-level metrics; receive low-level metrics; determine, using a plurality of sets of threshold values, that the high-level metrics and the low-level metrics match at least one of a plurality of device profiles; and at least one of: (a) identify a device as belonging to class of devices corresponding to the matching device profile, or (b) identify whether at least a subset of the high-level metrics or the low-level metrics are outside one or more of the sets of threshold values.

  • Publication number: 20180234318
    Abstract: Systems and methods for overload management of Internet-of-Things (IoT) gateways. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: detect an overload condition in the IHS; in response to the detection, compare a current volatility of a data field against a volatility baseline for that data field, wherein the data field is one of a plurality of other fields contained within a packet communicated between an IoT device and the IHS; and take responsive action based, at least in part, upon the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20180234489
    Abstract: Systems and methods for load balancing Internet-of-Things (IoT) gateways. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: receive metadata including attributes of IoT devices communicatively coupled to the IHS, wherein the attributes are collected by the IoT devices at least in part during a time interval leading up to the IHS entering an undesired state; perform feature extraction upon the metadata; identify correlations between extracted features and the undesired state; and perform load balancing based upon the correlations.
