7.3 Big-data-driven networking in the industrial Internet

The core of the industrial Internet is data-driven intelligence based on full inter-connection. Network, data
and security are common basis and support from both an industrial and an Internet view.

It is obvious that the network is the cornerstone of the industrial Internet, meanwhile data can drive and
enhance industrial intelligence. On the other hand, security is a necessary feature of the industrial Internet.
Therefore, network, data and security are necessary to the industrial Internet.

Figure 7-3 depicts an example of a reference architecture for the industrial Internet. In such a reference
architecture, network view, data view and security view are the basis of the industrial Internet, while the
application view is the capability exposure of the industrial Internet.
