Toward software updates in IoT environments: why existing P2P systems are not enough

The number of connected devices is growing, as well as their embedded software complexity. Applications require management and updates. Modern software orchestrators and management systems are mostly centralised and expensive to scale to very large systems. We propose a decentralised approach to distribute software updates more efficiently to IoT devices using P2P. We seek to adapt system behaviour to IoT constraints, such as device heterogeneity, unreliable network connectivity and applications specifics.
