Abstract: The problem of reliability of Internet of Things (IoT) from the point of view of classical approach of reliability assessment using MIL-HDBK 217 is discussed in this paper. By using classical approach of reliability assessment using MIL-HDBK 217, only hardware reliability can be assess, and the situation with IoT is more complicated: billions of different things (devices), software, including human users are involved (networked). The reliability is not only matter of failure rate of elements (things), but protocols, energy efficiencies (green), standardization and other influences.

Keywords: Reliability, Internet of Things, Energy Efficiency, Green IoT.
