Abstract
A system and method for a software defined Internet of Things (IoT) Network Controller/Server including Network Controller Instances, a Network Controller Cluster, Application Controller Instances, Northbound and Southbound APIs, Uplink and Downlink Processor instances, and a Network Database. The invention leverages web-oriented technologies for a large horizontally scalable and highly available system. Horizontal scaling is accomplished by Network Controller instances which dynamically increases throughput for uplink and downlink processing. The event-driven architecture is coordinated through a distributed cache. Only Critical events are persisted as part of event processing; all others are stored in a cache and scheduled for persistence.
