How Does DDS Compare to other IoT Technologies？ 【DDS与其他物联网技术相比如何？】

DDS outperforms traditional messaging solution in Data Centricity、QoS、Security、Discovery and more Different Internets of Things 【DDS在数据中心性、服务质量、安全性、发现机制和更多不同的物联网方面优于传统的消息传递解决方案】

Applications designed for the Consumer Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial IoT must be able to efficiently scale and securely share data. However, there are qualitative differences in system requirements for these two types of IoT applications:

面向消费级物联网（IoT）和工业级物联网设计的应用程序，必须能够有效地扩展、安全地共享数据。然而，这两种类型的物联网应用的系统需求存在质的差异：

Qualitative Comparison of system requirements for Consumer and Industrial IoT applications.Source: Cutter Journal December 2014【消费级和工业级物联网应用系统需求的定性比较。资料来源：Cutter Journal 2014年12月】

The Consumer and Industrial IoT share many of the same requirements. However, each requirement has a very different relative importance. For example, Industrial IoT applications must deal with high individual data rates. Single sources, such as an aircraft engine, produce high volumes of data. Consumer IoT applications don’t usually deal with high individual data rates. However, all IoT applications must deal with high aggregated volumes of data.

消费级和工业物联网具有许多相同的要求。 但是，每个要求具有相对不同的相对重要性。 例如，工业物联网应用必须处理高数据率的单类数据（high individual data rates）。 单一来源（例如飞机发动机）会产生大量数据。 消费级物联网应用通常不处理高数据率的单类数据（high individual data rates）。 但是，所有物联网应用程序都必须处理大量聚合数据（high aggregated volumes of data）。

Different Protocols【不同协议的比较】

Several specialized messaging/data-sharing protocols are often considered for IoT applications, including:

物联网应用通常考虑几种专门的消息/数据共享协议，包括：

• Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT), a broker-reliant publish/subscribe messaging protocol designed to be used with TCP/IP
  消息队列遥测传输（MQTT），一种依赖于代理的发布/订阅消息协议，设计用于TCP/IP
• Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), which defines an efficient, binary, peer-to-peer protocol for transporting messages between two network processes (usually a client and a broker)
  高级消息队列协议（AMQP），它定义了在两个网络进程（通常是客户端和代理）之间传输消息的有效的二进制对等协议
• Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a software protocol that was designed to support the connectivity of simple low power electronic devices (e.g. wireless sensors) with Internet based systems
  受限应用协议（CoAP）是一种软件协议，旨在支持简单的低功耗电子设备（如无线传感器）与基于互联网的系统之间的连接

The following table provides a comparison of the technologies listed above. A number of these IoT protocols were designed for simplicity and as such can support only a very limited set of use cases. DDS on the other hand is a feature-rich standard that transparently handles much of an IoT system’s data connectivity complexity, therefore, easing developer efforts.

下表提供了上述技术的比较。 这些物联网协议中有许多是为了简化而设计的，因此只能支持非常有限的一组用例。 另一方面，DDS是一个功能丰富的标准，可以透明地处理物联网系统的许多数据连接复杂性，因此减轻了开发人员的工作量。

DDS：The Right Choice 【DDS：正确的选择】

Many real systems include devices, servers, mobile nodes, and more. They have diverse communication needs, but it’s better – and easier – to use a single communication paradigm when possible. System designers should determine which of the protocols meets the primary challenge of their intended applications. Then, if possible, extend that primary choice to all aspects of the system.

许多真实的系统包括各种各样的设备、服务器、移动节点等等。 他们有各种各样的通信需求，但在可能的情况下尽量使用单一的通信协议会更好，也更容易。 系统设计者应确定哪种协议满足其预期的主要应用场景。然后，将该主要协议扩展应用到系统的其他设备和软件中。

For example, inter-device data use is a different use case from device data collection. Requirements for turning on your light switch (best with CoAP) are much different than the requirements for managing the generation of that power (best with DDS), monitoring the transmission lines (best with MQTT), or communicating power usage within the data center (best with AMQP).

例如，设备间数据使用与设备数据收集是不同的用例场景。打开灯开关（最好使用CoAP）的要求与管理该电源的生成（最好使用DDS）、监视传输线（最好使用MQTT）或在数据中心内通信电源使用（最好使用AMQP）的需求大不相同。

Overall, DDS is the most versatile of these protocols. It can manage tiny devices, connect large, high-performance sensor networks and close time-critical control loops. It can also serve and receive data from the cloud.

总的来说，DDS是这些协议中最通用的。它可以管理微型设备，连接大型高性能传感器网络，并对时间要求严格的控制回路。它还可以应用于云端服务，并从云端接收数据。

DDS communication is peer-to-peer. Elimination of message brokers and servers simplifies deployment, minimizes latency, maximizes scalability, increases reliability, and reduces cost and complexity. Using DDS does require building a data model and understanding data-centric principles. It is ideal for IoT applications that require a lasting, reliable, high-performance architecture.

DDS通信是点到点对等的。消除消息代理和服务器简化了部署，最小化了通信延迟，最大化了可扩展性，提高了可靠性，并降低了成本和复杂性。使用DDS确实需要构建一个数据模型并理解以数据为中心的原理。DDS非常适合需要持久、可靠、高性能体系结构的物联网应用。
