We argue that the challenging, dynamic network conditions of Smart-Cities can be addressed with a relevant multi-protocol solution, as long as the latter deploys and configures on-demand the most appropriate protocol strategy to each node. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is ideal to provide the missing features of intelligent centralized control and programmability. Here, we target systematic experiments with the REWIRE platform, a relevant SDN-based management solution that improves the adaptability of our previous multi-protocol endeavours, tackling reliability and scalability issues associated with real Smart-City network conditions and IoT application patterns.
