Abstract
This report describes an approach to capturing and documenting the network communication behavior of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. From this information, manufacturers, network administrators, and others can create and use files based on the Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) specification to manage access to and from those IoT devices. The report also describes the current state of implementation of the approach and proposals for future development.Citation
