features through which we can identify the IoT devices

Question

Can anyone tell me the different ways through which we can identify IoT devices?

Like, can we identify the IoT device through IP address, mac address, or headers and what other things can be deployed to identify IoT devices?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I think you should always be able to get the API from the suppliers.

IoT devices may use various ways to transmit data (BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE,etc).

Each of those protocols has their own way to define a unique ID of the device.

Like some of them may contain the MAC address in the header, or some may contain the unique ID in the data.
