9. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instruction stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to: provide an associative mapping for a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol in a memory, wherein the second communication protocol is different from the first communication protocol, wherein a data message structured according to the first communication protocol comprises a serialized-binary message having a self-describing schema, the serialized-binary message comprising i) a data set comprising data values originating from a connected device, and ii) a metadata construct that includes one or more description values of the data set, and wherein the associative mapping includes one or more control parameters associated with transmission events of the data message to one or more devices in the network, wherein a configuration message structured according to the first communication protocol comprises a second serialized-binary message having the self-describing schema, the second serialized binary message comprising i) the one or more control parameters associated with the transmission events of the data message to the one or more devices in the network, and ii) a second metadata construct that includes one or more description values of the one or more control parameters; in response to receiving, from a given connected device, a first data message transmitted according to the second communication protocol, generate, according to the associative mapping, a second data message structured according to the first communication protocol and transmit, according to the associative mapping, the second data packet to a device in the network; in response to receiving, from the device in the network, a given configuration message structured according to the first communication protocol, wherein the given configuration message includes one or more control parameters associated with one or more transmission events of a given data message to one or more devices in the network, update the associative mapping with the one or more control parameters of the given configuration message; and in response to receiving, from the given connected device, a third data message transmitted according to the second communication protocol, generate, according to the updated associative mapping, a fourth data message structured according to the first communication protocol and transmit, according to the updated associative mapping, the fourth data message to a device in the network.
