Question
MQTT
Answer
MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport) is a publish/subscribe, extremely simple and lightweight messaging protocol, designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth, high-latency or unreliable networks.
MQTT was invented by Dr Andy Stanford-Clark of IBM, and Arlen Nipper of Arcom (now Eurotech), in 1999.? The design principles are to minimize network bandwidth and device resource requirements whilst also attempting to ensure reliability and some degree of assurance of delivery. These principles also turn out to make the protocol ideal of the emerging ?machine-to-machine? (M2M) or ?Internet of Things? world of connected devices, and for mobile applications where bandwidth and battery power are at a premium.
