Internet of Things (IOT) comprises things that have unique identities and are connected to the internet. IOT is a new revolution in the capabilities of the devices that are connected via the internet, and is being driven by the advancement in capabilities (cost effective) in sensor networks, mobile devices, wireless communications, networking and cloud technologies with minimum or no human intervention. The scope of IOT is not limited only to connecting devices to the internet but also allows communication and exchange of data among them The Internet of Things (IOT) represents a significant evolution in internet technology, enabling the connection and communication of billions of devices worldwide. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review and classification of IOT architectures. We examine the various layers, models, and frameworks proposed in the literature, identifying common themes and differences. By analyzing these architectures, we aim to offer insights into their design principles, strengths, and weaknesses. Our review highlights the critical role of architecture in IOT deployment and suggests directions for future research to address current challenges and enhance IOT system efficiency and security. This paper presents a review and classification on architecture of IOT based on the challenges in application of IOT. It provides an overview of the classification of the architecture based on scalability, security and energy efficiency. This paper evaluates various contributions of researchers in different areas of IOT architecture. It will give good comprehension for the new researchers, who want to do research in this field of Internet of Things.
