An analysis of the TR069 (CWMP) protocol

Abstract

This paper presents a short analysis of the TR-069 (CWMP) protocol. The protocol is widely used in consumer electronics and the Internet of Things (IoT), and this paper is an attempt to explain its success. The purpose of the protocol, its architecture, integration with other protocols, and the technologies that it relies on are discussed. A parallel is drawn with some other management protocols, primarily the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), where possible.
