Inter-pico Messaging

[windley]

Currently inter-pico messaging is HTTP based.

Advantages:

• Web tech is widespread
• Firewalls open port 80 by default
• other projects also support this (Web of Things)
• Lots of other people working on making it fast, etc.
• addressing is easy (URLs)

Disadvantages:

• Have to build messaging on top of Web
• Small-batch HTTP messages have high overhead

Optimize interpico events that are happening on the same pico engine instead of using HTTP.
