38. http://mqtt.org
• On top of TCP/IP
• Publish/Subscribe messaging pattern
• Message Broker distributes topics to clients
• Topics are UTF-8 string-based with hierarchical structure
• No direct connection between clients
• Quality of Service
• Retain-Flag: new subscribed clients will received last value
• Last Will: notify other clients when disconnected
ungracefully
• KeepAlive: ping request messages to the bróker
• Clients have to know beforehand the structure of the data
published to a topic
• MQTT is data-agnostic
