Thank you very much to all for your time and valuable feedback. Let me answer the questions that have been asked:
Q. does the server know in advance the IP address of each digi device? Are they static? A. IP addresses are dynamic. Digi device has Connect ware manager through which the IP address are registered and device is maintained. DNS server will be used to pull the IP address. I don't have any code yet. We need to write the code. Since I am learning CAMEL (as part of my MSc degree) and to some extent have felt it's power, I want to introduce it at my job place therefore, I am trying to find if CAMEL can be used in this project. I will need to write a client program that will send commands to digi devices. digi devices will respond back with the message. My program will need to send commands to digi devices every 15 minutes. Q: is it ok for the digi gadgets to contact the 'home' central dispatcher? A. I also thought this approach, but the problem is that not all digi devices are up all the time. (all trucks are not on all the time, digi device is up if the truck is turned on). I was thinking may be we can write python script and push it to digi device, but since digi device will not be up all the time, it will be maintenace issue if we push the code on digi device and let digi device send the data to offboard. Therefore, I have said I will need to write a client program and open the socket connection. So, my offboard program will be client and the digi device will the the server. My client program will be sending command to many trucks every 15 minutes. Following application level protocols are allowed in my network: HTTPS, SSL, SFTP and Secure MQ.
