Objective
The purpose of assignment has been analyzing data and informtion collected from various
sources. Experiment design and result analysis have been done in the assignment. There have
been various data and information collected from both primary and secondary data sources.
Therefore, analysis of data and information will be done in this assignment.
1. Data Collection
Data Collection has been an important part of research. The two types of data collection process
have been primary and secondary methods. This research has followed hybrid approach that
includes both primary and secondary method of data collection. Different sources have been used
from collecting data regarding bio inspired communication and IoT. Various organizations have
been approached for collecting data related to the IoT. All data has been put into a table for
creating records in proper manner.
1.1 Identification of data sources

3. Result analysis
3.1 Result Estimation
According to the pie charts, there have been 34.7% male and 65.3% female involved in
the survey. These data shows that female employees have been using IoT devices in the business
organization. 33% employees are satisfied with the use of the IoT in the business organization.
IoT have been helping in maintaining several duties in the organization. The Bio-inspired Secure
IPv6 Communication Protocol have been flexible in function which helps in delivering high
security over the IPv6 based communication. However, for ensuring security resource
constrained heterogeneous IPv6 communication systems have been injected with AIS code.
Artificial Immune System has been able to enhance recognized pouting protocol for providing
low power and lossy networks or facilitating intelligent security in BsCoP. The correlation
function identifies about different malicious node for misbehaving in the thresholds under AIS.
Routing protocols have been providing improved performance by the integration of AIS code

that helps in increasing protection and security against various attacks. IoT has been an
emerging new generation network that has been evolved through various micro-electronics
technologies and wireless networks. There have been various advantages of the IoT in the IT
field. It has been able to meet various requirements of the business organization in the market.
The routing concept in the IoT has been maintaining a keen approach to the development of
market.
3.2 Result Summary
Only 13% employees have been feeling unsafe from use of IoT devices in the business
organization. There have been various attacks in the IoT devices related to the cyber-attacks.
These have been causing unfamiliar behavior in the organization. Internet of Things (IoT) has
provided reason and helped in preparing things significantly more specifically forward.
According to the pie charts, 21% employees have been using IoT devices in their work
environment. Communication Protocol have been flexible in function which helps in delivering
high security over the IPv6 based communication. The proposed solution in the literature review
has been Ant Colony System that has been based on ant behavior. It depends on the biological
behavior of insects. However, for ensuring security resource constrained heterogeneous IPv6
communication systems have been injected with AIS code.
