Here on IBM MessageSight, we've been trying out using F5 BIG-IP. You can configure BIG-IP using iRules, to route connections and load balance across a set of MessageSight servers. We created some sample iRules to configure F5 BIG-IP to extract an MQTT client ID from an MQTT CONNECT message, perform a server map lookup, and route the connection to the appropriate IBM® MessageSight server. This blog describes using the samples and shares some useful information so that you can: Use an F5 BIG-IP iRule to extract an MQTT... [More]

MQTT was originally developed 15 years ago. It was created in order to minimise the amount of data sent over expensive satellite links when sending information from sensors on oil and gas pipelines. It's been used in applications around the world for high speed, low latency, low overhead communications. The protocol has seen a real spike in interest as the Internet of Things space has emerged and developers have started looking around for something that can simply and reliably communicate to and from devices. MQTT... [More]

I got this question from one of our techsales team, thought I’d share: “I see that IoT is being more and more referred to as cloud responsibility. Do you believe the appliance will eventually be replaced by a pure cloud based offering?” A great question. The IoT space is evolving very quickly at the moment. We’re seeing lots of different options become available, for private, public, managed and unmanaged. Guessing how things will evolve is always difficult, but I expect to see different options...

I am delighted to read that Microsoft is working on an MQTT implementation in its Azure Service Bus, as shown in Clemens Vasters’ blog post . I welcome the addition of MQTT to Azure Service Bus and I am keen on a positive discussion on Clemens’ observations as a contribution to the future development of MQTT by the OASIS Technical Committee that is working on MQTT. Unfortunately Clemens’ article includes a number of criticisms of MQTT that I feel are inaccurate. I will address these below in, I hope,... [More]
