1-29. (canceled) (0)

30. An apparatus, comprising an Internet-of-Things (IoT) network, wherein the IoT network comprises an IoT device, comprising: (5) (4)

a communicator to send a communication comprising an egress frame;

a protocol library builder to determine what protocols are available;

a frame analyzer to analyze an ingress frame; and

a frame builder to build the egress frame from the ingress frame.

31. The apparatus of claim 30, wherein the frame analyzer is to determine frame length for the ingress frame, a protocol for an egress frame, or both. (0)

32. The apparatus of claim 30, comprising an easement system. (0)

33. The apparatus of claim 30, comprising a protocol library to store available protocols. (1) (0)

35. The apparatus of claim 30, comprising the ingress frame in a first protocol, and the egress frame in a second protocol, wherein the egress frame comprises a payload field comprising at least a portion of the ingress frame. (0)

36. The apparatus of claim 30, comprising the ingress frame in a first protocol, and a plurality of egress frames, each in a second protocol, wherein each of the plurality of egress frames comprises a payload field comprising at least a portion of the ingress frame. (0)

37. A method for packing a frame in a first protocol into a payload field of a second protocol, comprising: (4) (3)

identifying a protocol for an ingress frame and a protocol for an egress frame;

writing at least a portion of the ingress frame into the payload field of the egress frame; and

dispatching the egress frame towards the destination

38. The method of claim 37, comprising creating a library of available ingress and egress protocol, wherein the library comprises the size of a frame in each protocol, the payload field size of a frame in each protocol, the addresses for each protocol, or any combinations thereof. (0)

39. The method of claim 37, comprising: (0) (2)

40. The method of claim 37, comprising fragmenting an ingress frame that is too large to fit in a payload field of an egress frame. (2) (0)

41. The method of claim 40, comprising splitting the ingress frame into a plurality of byte sequences, wherein each byte sequence will fit in a payload field of an egress frame. (1) (0)

43. The method of claim 40, comprising determining if all fragments of the ingress frame have been processed, and, if not, continuing to write fragments into egress frames. (0)

44. The method of claim 37, comprising: (0) (2)

45. A non-transitory, machine readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, direct a processor to: (4) (4)

analyze an ingress frame to determine size and other constraints;

determine a protocol for an egress frame;

write at least a portion of the ingress frame into the data field of the egress frame; and

route the egress frame towards a destination.

46. The non-transitory, machine readable medium of claim 45, comprising instructions that, when executed, direct the processor to create an inventory of available ingress protocols and egress protocols. (0)

47. The non-transitory, machine readable medium of claim 45, comprising instructions that, when executed, direct the processor to fragment the ingress frame if it is too large to fit within the data field of the egress frame. (1) (0)

49. The non-transitory, machine readable medium of claim 45, comprising instructions that, when executed, direct the processor to place the ingress frame, or a fragment of the ingress frame, in the payload field of the egress frame. (0)

50. The non-transitory, machine readable medium of claim 45, comprising instructions, that, when executed, direct the processor to send the frame on to a subsequent device with an address indicating the final destination. (0)

51. An apparatus for packing a frame in a first protocol into a payload field of a second protocol, comprising: (4) (3)

means for identifying a protocol for an ingress frame and a protocol for an egress frame;

means for writing at least a portion of the ingress frame into the payload field of the egress frame; and

means for dispatching the egress frame towards the destination

52. The apparatus of claim 51, comprising means for creating a library of available ingress and egress protocol, wherein the library comprises the size of a frame in each protocol, the payload field size of a frame in each protocol, the addresses for each protocol, or any combinations thereof. (0)

53. The apparatus of claim 51, comprising: (0) (2)

54. The apparatus of claim 51, comprising means for fragmenting an ingress frame that is too large to fit in a payload field of an egress frame. (2) (0)

55. The apparatus of claim 54, comprising means for splitting the ingress frame into a plurality of byte sequences, wherein each byte sequence will fit in a payload field of an egress frame. (1) (0)

57. The apparatus of claim 54, comprising: (0) (2)

58. The apparatus of claim 51, comprising: (0) (2)
