There are two important aspects to scaling within the Internet of Things:

  • scaling up Internet technologies to a large number [FIFTY-BILLION] of inexpensive nodes, while

  • scaling down the characteristics of each of these nodes and of the networks being built out of them, to make this scaling up economically and physically viable.

The need for scaling down the characteristics of nodes leads to "constrained nodes".
